Hi All I have tried to find documentation on how to setup a freeBSD box as a webserver running PHP apach mySQL versions needed for the Mambo content Management System [ the one that has won lots of open sourse awards over the last few years] So I am sure there must be others wanting this resource - and I will be happy to help with documentation [ and anything else I can do] for others once my issues are resolved.
I have searched the handbook, archives for questions etc etc Sorry for the long email - but thought I would give as much info as possible, thanks in Advance. I have an IBM p4 1.6 w 256mb RAM 40 gig. I have installed freeBSD 5.4. I cvsuped ports-all and src-all Then cd /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl make install distclean echo 'apache_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf echo 'apache_flags="-DSSL"' >> /etc/rc.conf cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql40-server make install WITH_OPENSSL=yes distclean cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 make install distclean cd /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions make install distclean Checked the OpenSSL boxes when needed ee /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024 openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in /root/server.csr -signkey /root/server.key -out /root/server.crt cp ~/server.key /usr/local/etc/apache/ssl.key/ cp ~/server.crt /usr/local/etc/apache/ssl.crt/ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start /usr/local/sbin/apachectl startssl ***next three lines to stop needing pwd for ssl on each system reboot ***cd /usr/local/etc/apache/ssl.key ***cp server.key server.key.orig ***openssl rsa -in server.key.orig -out server.key Then scp mambo files and extracted..to /usr/local/www At this stage I can point browser to ip address and the proper Mambo pre-installer page comes up - as it should. With PHP Zlib Mysql all coming up positive. [ as needed by Mambo ] Now I try to create a database in mysql called Mambo mysqladmin -u root -p create Mambo I enter my password then get this error message mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists! I have tried to start mysql again with /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start I have restarted [ of course ] I have noticed that the file /tmp/mysql.sock does not exist. I have tried to get some info form mysql's site with no luck. I love and promote freeBSD whenever I can! Its such a great system! Thanks in Advance for help Cheers Chris _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
