This page will explain how I setup my Freebsd system. It’s more to my own notes for future references.
I use the default provided by the installer, except for an extra partition called:-
/aur
which is mounted under /aur. This one will be used to hold all my project stuff and system configuration.
I’ve setup NFS share on this machine to be accessible from the archlinux box. My $HOME/public_html will be mounted on arch box as $HOME/public_html. On the server, edit /etc/exports.
/usr/home/kamal/public_html -mapall=kamal 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.101 192.168.1.102 192.168.1.103
# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid`
also make sure these is set in /etc/rc.conf
rpcbind_enable="YES" nfs_server_enable="YES" mountd_flags="-r"
to view the exports:-
# showmount -e
On the client side, /etc/fstab
mospeada:/usr/home/kamal/public_html /home/kamal/public_html nfs user,rw,hard,intr 0 0
Most of the time, I’ll try to use packages instead of a port to reduce the time need to setup the whole system.
I used apache 1.3 and php 4.3.0.
# pkg_add -r apache # pkg_add -r php4 # pkg_add -r php-extensions
I also set the PACKAGESITE environment variable in my .bash_profile
PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp.jp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/Latest/
This is the setting in /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf
DocumentRoot '/aur/httpd/www' LoadModule php4_module libexec/apache/libphp4.so AddModule mod_php4.c AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
# cd /usr/ports/www/php-cgi # make -DWITH_FASTCGI install # cd /usr/ports/www/apache2 # make -DWITH_SUEXEC_DOCROOT=/aur/httpd
arrow key does not work well in vim if running inside screen. This could be fix by setting the proper TERM environment variable:-
# set env TERM xterm
