  • FreeBSD /usr/ports: No such file or directory.

    FreeBSD /usr/ports: No such file or directory.

    On a FreeBSD server, when I change the directory to “/usr/ports”, got following error

    root@freebsd:~ # cd /usr/ports
    /usr/ports: No such file or directory.
    root@freebsd:~ # 
    

    To fix this, run

    portsnap fetch extract

    Install Apache/PHP/MySQL on FreeBSD

    To install Apache, run

    pkg install apache24
    

    Enable Apache with

    vi /etc/rc.conf
    

    Add

    apache24_enable="yes"
    

    Start Apache with

    service apache24 start
    

    Install php with

    pkg install php74 mod_php74
    

    Edit apache config and enable PHP

    vi /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf
    

    Add

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
    
    
        SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
    
    
    
        SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
    
    

    Restart Apache

    service apache24 restart
    

    At this point, PHP scripts will work using Apache.

  • Install rsync in freebsd from source

    On the server, i want to install rsync have no ports as it was older version FreeBSD 5.4 and is not supported, so install rsync from source.

    http://www.samba.org/ftp/rsync/

    mkdir /usr/local/src
    cd /usr/local/src
    wget http://www.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-3.0.5.tar.gz
    tar -zxvf rsync-3.0.5.tar.gz
    cd rsync-3.0.5
    ./configure
    make
    make install
    

    After install, you need to run rehash command

    newinst# rsync
    rsync: Command not found.
    newinst# rehash
    newinst# rsync

    rsync is a file transfer program capable of efficient remote update
    via a fast differencing algorithm.
    
    Usage: rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... DEST
      or   rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [USER@]HOST:DEST
      or   rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [USER@]HOST::DEST
      or   rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/DEST
      or   rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST:SRC [DEST]
      or   rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST::SRC [DEST]
      or   rsync [OPTION]... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/SRC [DEST]
    The ':' usages connect via remote shell, while '::' & 'rsync://' usages connect
    to an rsync daemon, and require SRC or DEST to start with a module name.
