RE: PHP5 as apache module using packages
Hi all; Ok so i've reinstalled fBSD-7 and i'm running apache 2.2 installed using pkg_add I need to also run php as a module for apache (the web software i'm using requires php as module no cgi). Curious: what software and why? The only valid reason is that the sofware writes php_value/php_flag options to .htaccess files. This has many other implications and I would carefully examine the software and all other websoftware I have installed, before allowing this. The software is elgg.org, it is social software, i'm working on a project for a world of warcraft guild (yes this is a money deal), they are looking for a facebookish type site with some custom world of warcraft stuff done. I haven't really looked too much at the software yet although I'm going to. This is going to be on a dedicated server, not doing anything else.

Now I pkg_add'ed php5 from sparc64/all tree on ftp.freebsd.org, I think I missed passing a variable throu to php. My question is how do I know what variables I can pass throu to a package to adjust its installation.

Gary: If you want to configure things differntly to the compiled default of a package, then you probably should be using ports instead of packages.

RE: update packages or reinstall
Hi all; Ok I've got a system running 6.0-release, it is an internal server and has nothing important on it. I'm running into problems where a lot of the packages are old and out of date, and everyday it seems I'm having to update 5-6 of em for something or another. I'm considering just wiping the system clean and starting from scratch to say either 6.4-release or 7.0 release. It is a sun netra x1 with a ultrasparc IIe 400mhz and 512mb ram. The machine is here at my location, so accessibility is no problem at all I know it is primarily my choice but feedback on whether a total wipe and reinstall with something a bit more current would be a better choice than fixing what I have. If you are in a position where a complete reinstall is possible/reasonable then I would do that. Make good backups and check their readability before burning any bridges. jerry Any suggestions for 7.0 or 6.4? Thanks Gary All feedback welcome.

mounting /usr/local on separate drive
Hi all; Ok i'm working on this netra here. There are a couple of annoying things about these things and one of em is that you can only have a single drive on either IDE controller (masters only no slaves allowed). So my goal was to have two 20g drives on this machine one of them being dedicated to /usr/local Since I can only have one single HDD, hooked up during install everything gets installed on a single drive. I'm wondering if it is possible to move /usr/local to the second drive in some post installation method, Once i have the disk prepared with a ufs file system, is it just as simple as editing /etc/fstab and moving it over. Or is it slightly more complicated since /usr/local has important stuff in it. I'm doing this from a fresh install, so no extra packages are being added yet.

Update a package
Hi all; Ok uber noob question here. I have gettext-0.14.5 installed from the package tree, I want to update to gettext-0.17_1 Is there a ways to do that with the pkg_add or some other command? I google'ed it and only found ways to update local ports sources...(which means I either suck at google or fbsd or both) Thanks for understanding my noobness.

RE: Update a package
So am I to understand the package tree is considered part of the ports, i've fetching the packages from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/sparc64/packages-6-stable/All/ I don't have a local ports tree, since i'm tight on space ( only 20gig HDD ). Can ports be fetched remotely? Thanks Gary from /usr/ports/UPDATE, you need to rebuild all ports... AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (i.e.: YOU) AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] As a result of the upgrade to gettext-0.17, the shared library version of libintl has changed, so you will need to rebuild all ports that depend on gettext: # portupgrade -rf gettext # portmaster -r gettext\* Given the scope and sheer number of dependent ports, it may be more advisable to simply blow away all existing install ports (after keeping any local configuration changes), and rebuilding from scratch. good luck!!

Newbie question
Hi all; Quick newbie question. I've been out of the bsd loop for a bit, i'm trying to setup nagios which is fine There are a couple of settings that I either don't remember or never remembered and forgot that I never knew it. Ok so nagios is asking me for an rc.d path, which if i recall FBSD doesn't use it is a linux script path for starting services at different run levels. So does FBSD emulate it for certain packages cause Nagios finds it at /usr/local/etc/rc.d but the only thing i have in it is webmin.sh which is for my webmin interface (although I must confess I'm not sure why it is there or what it is doing). I must also admit i feel rather retarded, since I used to know this stuff like the back of my hand, but it's been 6-7 years since i've been actively using FBSD but am looking to get back into it. Rc.d anyone? My assumption is that FBSD is using inetd for starting services correct?
