Re: New Users Learning FreeBSD
Hello, Sorry, don't have all of the original message... I think the newbie you are helping would at first find mandrake more informative. It would let them see all the different parts of a unix type OS. Perhaps a store bought box containing useful books for them. Then maybe a year from now, you can install freebsd. That way you won't be turned off yourself by answering so many little questions. If it turns out they don't like it. Their will be less time lost... Pete new DIM version coming out soon(php & mysql instant messenger) http://dim.whorules.com could use a little support...:) > I am curious what some newbies experiences were with FreeBSD who > have have no unix experience before.

Re: Question about ports... [postnuke]
Did you try
make install FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes clean
See
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ports&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+5.1-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html
Many people don't know to use the "=yes" for FORCE_PKG_REGISTER.
After you get Postnuke installed you may have to make these changes below.
"Using FreeBSD 5.1 and PHP 4.3 I had to delete the " from: setlocale
("LC_TIME", "locale"); To make it look like: setlocale (LC_TIME,
"en_US.ISO_8859-1"); and also replace setlocale (try "man setlocale" info)
>From mainfile.php line 565"

Re: Upgrading
If it is your second buildworld you have to do something like this # cd /usr/obj # chflags -R noschg * # rm -rf * Or the build may fail.

Re: phpbb and phorum --> clear|empty|(white) screen during install
As I recall, you have to delete install and upgrade files. A link I found. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-security/2003-November/001211.html Pete On Fri, 28 Nov 2003 23:30:01 -0800, Gary Kline wrote > I'm stumped. > > After I upgraded phpbb (from 2.0.4 to 2.0.6), I get an > empty, white screen. --I re-installed everything, including > dependencies before deciding t try phorum. > > Only the first two 'Install' pages of Phorum work.

I just had the same problem installing 5.1 on an intel D865GL motherboard with 2.4 celeron, two maxtor 120gb 133 hard drives with 133 adapter, 512 ecc ram(should be non-ecc I think). The floppy's didn't seem to have the bus driver I needed so I used the 5.1 CD to set up. User directories are on separate drive. I have had no problems for five days now.
