Normally CMSs have a page (somewhere in admin panel) where say if all required PHP modules are available. Install the ones required but not installed. The image below is from GravCMS

People regularly report problems concerning mc's subshell feature. I've always compiled mc without this feature. Maybe it's time to disable it by default for binary pkgs as well. You could open a bug report and suggest this. To support your...

What bakul said.

I haven't switched to pkgbase yet because I don't have time to fully understand how it works, especially (as mer said) if I'll run into problems after switching. I use ports, but some operations, such as requesting ports to update (pkg version -L...

Not necessarily if you do an incremental build and build packages (never incremental) on a diskless (NFS) machine.

/var/db for third-party database systems (mysql, postgresql) vies there, though.

I find that the usual server renting places are usually blocked by geo-enforcing websites. Amazon EC2 Frankfurt for example is useless for those purposes.

Hi putney Thanks your suggestion 😺 But can't try right now because I'm remote using server😹 I assume this is bug because 15.0-RELEASE have not this problem and 15.1-RELEASE release notes have not change about pf. Thanks you very much. 😺

This is very cool. Bookmarked to present next time someone says Make is too restrictive ;) My general statement about make is that it can always do exactly 99% of the task required but no more. And that last 1% is a massive ugly pain in the...

epopen: I think you can run your host with pf & securelevel 2 if you copy the files from a 14.1 system in a similar way to what's described below. It's not a very satisfactory workaround but maybe you can tolerate it for a while. To test the...

The context is that I created a new jail and installed Drupal, Apache, and PostgreSQL and got those messages output during the install. These are fresh pkgs, so why would I need to run pkg update?

Absolutely. Average Joe wouldn't even be on these forums to read my suggestion. Heh, its more so I don't need to fix the wife's/kid's/dog's/rabbit's Windows laptops when the crap hits the fan. Android and Apple offerings also benefit from this...

I am running a router on 15.1-RELEASE, dual stack IPv6 and IPv4. After reboot IPv4 does not work for the clients, while working from the server itself. I suspect this is due to the pf ruleset/nat not being loaded properly. It starts working after...

I do tend to experience the Tor symptom of "prove you aren't a bot" on i.e cloudflare due to blacklisting and traffic counting. However I find that if you specifically tailor your torrc to avoid common end-points (and also choose English speaking...

No, the only increasing part of /var if you have 3800 packages is the package cache which can be cleansed with one command. FreeBSD per default doesn't need a separated var. Servers and infrastructure software will - postgres, docker, libvirt...

Why can't the AI figure out how to do a port of itself?

This project seems to implement a framework for Reliability Engineering, capitalized because it is a proper category. The stuff listed in "Key Features" describes terminology from that framework. This is all very abstract if you haven't worked...

At some point a ports committer will have a final look at this and either okay it or not. It's up to the critical eye of that committer to see how far this flies.

Yes, basically anything that results in the use of a vtable (e.g. inheritance), is generally best avoided.

C++20 Modules now have visibility vs reachability issues, causing significant challenges/complexities, for developers and especially for make/build tools. C++ templates are either recompiled wherever used of if instantiated to provide an API...

How do I know which php modules to install when installng apache? If I intend to install drupal, should I expect that pkg to pull in all the required php pkgs.

I've set up www/gitlab on my VPS. A bit overkill, but I like all the features it has. And it's self-hosted. Keeping it up to date can be a bit of a challenge though.

I have just created a new jail and installed some pkgs in it so updating pkgs sounds odd.

I don't: "release" is the value for the -C option, it's not a make target. I need it because I'm running this command from /usr/src, not /usr/src/release. Oh, thanks! This is not in the manual page though. I tried now: # make -C release...

Why do you include the "release" target to create a cdrom? The "release" target reads in src/release/Makefile as follows: 10 # release: Invokes real-release, vm-release, cloudware-release and oci-release targets 11 # real-release: Build all...

All VPS providers are well known and their IP addresses are blacklisted these days. Also, you will struggle to find vps that aren't vastly more expensive then the vpn offers, with most vps having traffic limits on top of being more expensive...

I'm running FreeBSD 15-STABLE and I'd like to make a CD-ROM .iso image of the system with my custom configuration and patches. I routinely build and install the universe from source - no problems with that. But when trying to make a release, I...

What do I need to do to stop seeing this msg? I have just installed apache, postgresql and drupall, so am not sure what is generating this msg, although I suspect it is postgresql.

For private work, own fossil running as cgi in a cheap VPS. When I want to make something public, this: https://chiselapp.com Why? The use of: https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki

Neal Gompa is a nice fellow and the replies are clear: KDE will continue working on FreeBSD.

Hi Which repositories platforms do FreeBSD community choose and why? Are there some preferred ones or with better features/tools? I chose www.codeberg.org as a free and open source platform. thank you for sharing.

You name one good reason to have partitions. But with ZFS you can give quota for individual filesystems in a pool without having to do any disk partitioning.

It's not, especially now that bectl can allow a quick rollback if things go south. Not that the alternative of using ZFS snapshots is impossibly hard, but bectl does make it super useful The bigger annoyance IMHO, is the lack of a simple way of...

Tor can kind of be used like a free VPN service. Just set up machine's firewall with it as a transparent proxy. Perhaps you can adapt some of the guide here. Otherwise, rent a cheap private server on some cloud platform (azure, ibm, amazon). You...

Dont use free VPN unless you want your data stolen. Use paid service like Proton or Mullvad. They both support WireGuard which works without any issues under FreeBSD. But i would recommend you get a router that supports WireGuard and run your VPN...

vpngate, which uses openvpn among others, is free and uses random softether participant addresses, so it's not blacklisted all over the place like mullvad or nordvpn are. The exit nodes are unreliable though, so if you need long term...

end of the road when the write limit is reached. Copy off any data that you want to keep, then toss it and invest in a new one.

until they solve the cooling problem, there isn't going to be any datacenters in space. No convection in vacuum, and no gravity means that cooling will be more costly than on earth (with current cooling solutions at least).

but the controller has a STM32 microcontroller.. and you can program those in rust. Oh, and https://robotics.rs/

Does dd say something while trying to write? I had cheap Ali fakes with planned eol after 10 writes or so...

It's not complex. It's just different. You'll get used to it quickly and life will go on.

It "should" in the the modern libc and not require external linking. Try creating an independent C program that uses an iconv function directly, but dont link iconv and see if it compiles/runs. That would tell you the gnuplot build breaks...
