Hello to all. I'm new to the list and new to any sort of *nix/BSD type of OS so please be patient with me. I have no problems with replies that have just a link pointing to good documentation though I may come back to ask another question about the linked documentation.
Background: I decided to give FreeBSD a try off a recommendation from someone from another list I'm on as well as the fact that the guy in charge of our internal web server recently chose FreeBSD as the platform. Current goal: I obtained an old P2 333 and installed FreeBSD. I'd like to get Apache and PHP working properly. Questions/Problems: I've already posted my problem to another list and I got a couple of responses but I'm still having problems. I have two users setup on this BSD box and I'd like to be able to make it so that when user1 goes to http://[internal ip address here]/~user1 this user sees their information. When user2 goes to http://[internal ip address here]/~user2 this user sees the information they've posted. Right now, both users are getting a 404 error. When any user goes to http://[internal ip address here]/ it works just fine showing the index.html file within the htdocs directory. After reading through httpd.conf, I'm thinking I'd have to use symbolic links. If that is the case, what would be a good link to read up on how to do that? I'm not sure if symbolic links are any different in BSD vs Linux which is why I'd rather ask here than find out the hard way by using the first result or two off of a google search. Relevant info: I installed Apache 2.0 by going to the website, downloading and installing. I didn't know about the ports section until I posted to the other list and got some feedback. The feedback involved information on where apache should be installed but my installation is currently in /usr/local/apache2 is this a problem? If so, is there a way to do a quick uninstall so that I can do an install from the ports section? One of the suggestions I got from the other list was to check the /var/log/httpd-error.log for failures but I don't have that file on my system...anywhere. One last question, I've inserted... apache2_enable="YES" ...into the /etc/rc.conf and apache is not autostarting after a reboot. Is there anything else I'm missing to make it autostart after a reboot? From what I understand I won't have to reboot FreeBSD but this little box is not on a UPS and I'd like it to restart if we ever have a quick power bump. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
