I dilberately stayed away from .rpm packages and wanted to try and get it working from ports. However, ports install is on the backburner until I get more experience with FreeBSD. SO FAR, the entire installation process has been VERY easy up to this point. When I startup Apache I can get the default .html pages and I can even see my test.php file (to ensure that php is running). Also, I have been able to get other web pages to load based upon the default DocumentRoot directory.
Now when I change DocumentRoot and <Directory to point to my jffnms/htdocs folder; that is when the Forbidden starts. I even added the directory(s) to the default directory that Apache built (/usr/local/www/data) and I made sure that the chown and chmod were identical for all files and directories. And I still get Forbidden. AND to top it off; no error_log (unless I'm looking for the wrong file) Still scratching my head... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of LIMA David Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 1:13 PM To: Abel Aberra; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: RE : [jffnms-users] FreeBSD install Hi, The ability to change build options is not only for Gentoo, lots of linux distros (all ?) include source packages concept. You can rebuild you own package with your settings (distros based on .deb or .rpm packages such as debian, fedora, rhel, suse and perhaps more). Budy, you can perhaps take a look on .specs files that comes with .src.rpm packages to see build specs (options, releases , deps etc ...) and see if it works better. If you have apache errors like forbidden, take a look on the errorlog file, can you access to a simple index.html page ?

It solves a lot of problems that are a little bit harder to get arround with the other flavors of Gentoo. 1. Most packages include support for some things and you may need support for other things that aren't included by default for Example PHP doesn't usually come with support for SNMP. 2. Gentoo using the "USE" variables you can set what type of support you want for each application you install.
