Hi, I've just put FreeBSD 4.2 and some basic libraries and packages on a Celeron box that I have so I can use it for testing my PHP scripts before posting them to the production server. I have installed mySQL 3.23.37 in /usr/local/mysql and now am trying to figure out why it doesn't start up when I reboot the system. I have linked the mysql.server script and put the link it /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and it works to shut down the server if its running, but it doesn't seem to run the file to start up the server. What gives? That is my first question. Second, I tried using Apache Toolbox to install Apache,mySQL, PHP, GD+FreeType, etc... but it kept giving me trouble here and there. I'd fix one issue and it would cause another, and the error messages were finally too cryptic for me - it would die while compiling mySQL. Now, can someone either suggest a different installer program, or tell me why it doesn't work on FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE? I am a bit new to the administration bit, but I've managed to install Bash 2.04, some compression packages like unzip, some ftp packages, Upgraded Perl to 5.6.1 and put some modules on. Other than that, I installed the system with a security setting of Extreme, which I have since customized a bit so that I can telnet/ssh and use FTP, and it's all hooked up to the network. I don't know how well I did with hooking it up to the network, but DHCP seemed to take care of most of my issues.
