Folks, For anyone following this, I was unable to connect with MySQL or SQLite database using linux compatibility in FreeBSD. I believe that RevDB External and the Database Drivers need some uninstalled shared libraries but since they are no in ELF Format, I can't use ldd to find out whos missing.
I really wish RunRev would release RevServer for FreeBSD. To build this would probably take half an hour and build straight from the linux sources depending on how their build script is built. Most Linux source code build in FreeBSD with no fuss. It is my belief that FreeBSD is a better platform to build small servers because it is stable and all the system is built by a single community where a strong emphasis is placed on documentation and making sure packages work with each other. It takes less time to setup a FreeBSD server from the scratch and actually understand what is going on than building a linux one, specially once you start mixing repos and packages from other groups. For anyone that want to know more, I recommend the book "Building a Server with FreeBSD" from No Starch Press. It is a really quick book that is easy to read and in the end you have your own server full of nice stuff. Once you setup your first FreeBSD server, you will never want to go back to Linux or Windows... RevServer engine runs fine with the Linux binary emulator thing but the database external does not which kills half the usefulness of RevServer in such systems. Once we had engines for other unixes such as HP-UX and FreeBSD. I think building RevServer for at least FreeBSD would be a GREAT addition but I know that the mothership has enough platforms to worry so far. Heck, even if they built a RevServer for FreeBSD once a year and left it with no update until the next year, it would be GREAT! Anyway... will install CentOS here, need MySQL to work with RevServer, it is a pitty, my FreeBSD box looked and felt really GOOD! PS: Anyone following building a server with freebsd book can try it out on virtualbox... building servers is fun (a masochistic kind of fun but once it is working it is really good, at least until it breaks...)
