The ones above that I marked with a "*" are available in the FreeBSD ports
system and should work. I've also tried Plone and Mediawiki.

Only OS Commerce is in ports, but there is alse drupal5-ubercart
[http://drupal.org/project/ubercart] and Opencart (PHP based)
[http://www.opencart.com/]. Maybe one of those will work for you?

A quick look doesn't show any of these applications in the ports tree. But
looking for "ticket" gives;

locate '*ports/*ticket*/Makefile'
/usr/ports/www/mod_ticket/Makefile
/usr/ports/www/trac-advancedticketworkflow/Makefile

I'm in the same boat. :-)

At the moment I use Concrete5 (http://www.concrete5.org/) and you have
ecommerce which nicely integrates with it
(http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/ecommerce/)

but it costs $125.

Concrete is very nice to use CMS.

However, I also strongly consider to switch to SilverStripe
(http://www.silverstripe.org/) which is released under BSD license. ;)

There is also ecommerce module available
(http://www.silverstripe.org/ecommerce-module/) but it is free as well
as all other extension modules.


Since I have similar needs and sell only 'services', I prefer to have
simple & easy to use CMS and integrated ecommerce module.

Hope it helps.


Sincerely,
Gour

Ah...  I think there is an ssh sevice for winblows - not 100% sure though.  Any 
errors that are visible in a GUI app "should" be able to be logged to syslog,

Hello.

SSH in some of the servers is acting and working BUT I am assuming
some servers won't have it... like some windows based machines
The Mac's have it but the idea isto have the graphical interface
since the errors of the problems they are having are presenting in
their graphical applications

Thanks a lot for you time. I will try to find a VNC that can be used
in possible in all.

Thing is to access the GUI, same screen they have with errors, on

setup one of the VNC solutions around. Just reading befores about
security involved in each one.

If the remote hosts are running FreeBSD, you can do almost *everything*
through SSH.  For example most of my FreeBSD-related testing work
happens through SSH connections to virtual machines these days.

If you really need to run a GUI application though there are a few
options:

  - The most basic is to connect to the remote machine in *some* way,
set the DISPLAY environment variable to point to a local X server
that may accept incoming connections and fire up your GUI program.

  - You can SSH into the remote machine and use the -X or -Y options to
set up 'X forwarding' back to the machine where the SSH connection
has originated from.

  - You can use programs like the NX tools 
to set up a 'remotely accessible X desktop' on the target machine
and then use nxclient to connect to it from anywhere.

The fastest and simplest method is still a plain good old SSH connection
though.  It requires minimal setup (an sshd daemon on the remote side),
it is accessible from anywhere in the world, it's secure against random
eavesdroppers, it's fast to connect to, it's pretty light-weight on both
the client and server systems, and you can do _everything_ on the remote
host [even full system upgrades from source].

If you really need to run a GUI application though there are a few

set the DISPLAY environment variable to point to a local X server

If you're connecting to Windows clients, use RDP, not VNC.

/usr/ports/net/rdesktop
/usr/ports/net/freerdp

To X11 and other type clients, VNC.

You can use

/usr/ports/net/freenx and
/usr/ports/net/linux-nx-client/

for a better experience although I haven't gotten that portion working under
FreeBSD before.  Once it's setup though it's way faster than an equal
bandwidth/setttings RDP connection.

net/ssvnc works with both UltraVNC Windows clients and net/x11vnc for 
FreeBSD.  It can communicate over an encrypted SSL tunnel.  The client 
can initiate an outgoing connection, so outside holes don't need to 
poked through the firewall.


Haven't needed to try it on a Mac, but Karl Runge's web page 
(http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ssvnc.html) lists MacOSX support.


This has worked well for me on high-bandwidth connections.  Dialup has 
been unusable, and I suspect it would have to forgo encryption to be 
usable, if then.

RE: Kind of off topic.

2010-12-13 Thread Gary Gatten
Sorry, I thought all the servers were *nix.

Ah...  I think there is an ssh sevice for winblows - not 100% sure though.  Any 
errors that are visible in a GUI app "should" be able to be logged to syslog, 
event logs, proprietary log file, etc...  Guess that depends on the app and the 
developer though!

Good luck!

Hello.

SSH in some of the servers is acting and working BUT I am assuming 
some servers won't have it... like some windows based machines 
The Mac's have it but the idea isto have the graphical interface 
since the errors of the problems they are having are presenting in 
their graphical applications


Thanks a lot for you time. I will try to find a VNC that can be used 
in possible in all.

XWindows of course, or numerous variants thereof.  I'm not sure but 
I *think* most of them use the Xwindows protocol on the network.


VNC may also work now.  There are also several versions of it 
(TightVNC, RealVNC, et al) There's a native VNC protocol/client as 
well as Java/http - maybe https...


There's probably someone that has written and httpd or Apache module 
that will simply pass I/O between a shell process on the box.  Maybe 
search the ports tree or of course google.

Hello all.

A friend is asking me to help him to solve some problem he has in his
servers. To some I would be able to connect using ssh, with other
just it i snot possible. I remember that on the windows world there
was a commercial software PCANywhere. He can have it but I am not
sure if I would be able to connect to that from my Freebsd machine
(of course not by ssh).
What are you using for connecting to graphical interfaces of
different OS's from FreeBSD?
I tested some years ago a VNC software but did not work fine with MAC
OSX (recently released by then).
I know big security factors are involved for sure.
Any suggestion on what to use, not to expensive or free?

Thanks in advance

Ssh not possible?  That's one of the most basic "requirements" and most easy to 
secure - typically

XWindows of course, or numerous variants thereof.  I'm not sure but I *think* 
most of them use the Xwindows protocol on the network.

VNC may also work now.  There are also several versions of it (TightVNC, 
RealVNC, et al) There's a native VNC protocol/client as well as Java/http -

There's probably someone that has written and httpd or Apache module that will
