I have the same problem with Apache, it's not started during boot and I can't figure out how to get it started.. Can someone rescue me?? /usr/local/sbin/apachectl -start will start apache manually /usr/local/lib/webmin has the setup script but if you installed from ports it should have prompted you with the default port to connect to.

Maher I don't remember the exact version of X the came with 4.6, but from you email I'd suggest that you try setting up X by using either: XF86Setup - a graphic configuration interface xf86config - text based From you email it sounds as if XF86Setup would be easier for you. Also, on the pentium 166 machine, I think you should try a different window mananger. I think KDE my be to large for that machine. I'd try windowmaker.

Help setting up a home network with FreeBSD
Hello, for the last week I have been trying to set up a home network with FreeBSD. Here is what I have: FreeBSD 5.0 server 2 nics FreeBSD 4.8 workstation Windows XP machine Windows 98 machine. I have been successful in setting up the 5.0 server to connect to my verizon dsl account. I've configure the kernel for use as a firewall and set this up as a gateway machine. I like the 2nd nic to connect to my hub and server dhcp addresses to the other machines on the network. I been searching for a tutorial or how-to but nothing I have read has been successful it letting the the other machines to access the internet via the server. Can someone point me in the right direction to a good how to or supply me with some tips.

No the other machines can not talk to the server. I even tried to ping the server by server name but nothing. Do you need to use NAT to connect the other machines or do Verizon give you multiple IPs. If you need NAT, you should simply be able to set gateway_enable=yes natd_enable=yes natd_interface=name of external interface natd_flags=-dynamic -deny_incoming Yes I was trying to use NAT. My natd_flags are different from yours. I try these. Then if your server is set us the default router for your other machines, everything should just work! You'll need to set-up the IPs of the other machines by hand and you'll also need to give the machines the IP of Verizon's DNS server. But you can begin to check that everything works by pinging around with IP addresses only. This may be my problem here. I was trying to get DHCP to work. Not that I really wanted it but thought that I did. So if I hard code the addresses I may have better luck. I will give this a try Thanks Rod ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Help Troubleshooting Network problem
Hi all, I have a DSL connection and a Intel EtherPro 10/100 network card running FreeBSD 4.8 pre-release. I have noticed that sometimes when I'm downloading overnight, something like an iso image or something large that make ppp load seems to overflow and stop working. What happens is that all application that use a network connection lock up. Applications such as email web browser etc. I have to Kill the ppp pid and all application accessing it and restart them. I know this isn't the best description but can someone give me an idea on what to look at to try and trouble shoot this. I've never had this problem before with any release. I've even used 5.0 for awhile on this machine and had no such problem.

Re: New Device inphy0??
On Sun, 9 Mar 2003 21:13:34 -0500 Matthew Emmerton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The inphy0 device is just one-half of a ethernet device, specifying the physical layer controller (which is often separate from the interface to the system). You should have a network card identified just above this (such as fxp0, bge0, etc.) It is this ethernet device which you should reference in your ppp.conf to enable your PPPoE DSL. Oh, that explains it! I just switched from a 3Com card to an Intel card that is fxp0. It was the first time I really paid attention to my dmesg since I built world with 4.8-prerealease and thought that might have something to do with it.

New Device inphy0??
I looked at my dmesg output today and it seems that 4.8-prerelease is now picking up my built in Broadcom Ethernet card. I now have this entry in demesg: inphy0: i82555 10/100 media interface on miibus0 inphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto I tried to switch my ppp.conf to use this device to connect to my DSL. NO LUCK :( So I checked LINT and even the MAKEDEV entries and see no such device listed anywhere? Is it possible to use this device? If so how.

ATAPICAM problems in 4.7
Ok, I just went back to 4.7 from 5.0. I'm trying to get the atapicam to work. I cvsup'd all may src. Did a make world and rebuild my kernel and added the device ATAPICAM. Everything went well! Ok on reboot it doesn't list my cd or dvd as a scsi device. camcontrol -devlist returns nothing. I even did a MAKEDEV cd0/cd1. Now atapicam worked great in 5.0, is there something else I need to do to get it to work in 4.7? I can't seem to find documentation on needing to do anything else TIA, Rod To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Suprise! It now works. So why doesn't it work with the KLMs? well as I understand it the default kernel doesn't have support for sound, so loading the module without kernel support does not work. I'm not exactly sure but I believe that is it. Someone with more kernel knowledge may know better than I.
