Setting up a FreeBSD server for Freeside

• 1. Install FreeBSD. - Do the complete install from CD.

• • a. Insert Freebsd CD & boot to CD

• • b. Select “Custom”

• • c. Select “Partition”

• • d. Use “D” to Delete any existing partitions

• • e. Use “C” to Create slices (this is just the drive, use one slice)

• • f. Use “Q” to save & exit

• • g. Select “BootMgr”

• • h. Select “Label”

• • i. Use “C” to create partitions

• • j. Setup swap partition first (2 x RAM) – use “m” at end of number to denote mb

• • k. Select “swap” as partition type

• • l. Setup other partitions – mount point for OS is “/”

• • m. Use “Q” to save & finish

• • w. Select “Exit”

• • x. Select “X”

• • y. Select “Yes” & remove CD

• 2. Configure the server

• • a. adduser “adduser” (set up a user for use later so you don’t have to log into root everytime)

• • b. set root password “passwd”

• • c. Edit the rc.conf in etc

• • • i. hostname=”boxname.your.domain”

• 5. Step two of Freeside install instructions almost completed, set up ssl later.

• 6. Install the cpan bundle & Apache bundle

• • a. “perl –MCPAN –e shell; “

• • b. type “no“

• • c. “install Bundle::CPAN“ (watch error messages at end has taken as many as 7 times to get full load)

• • d. “reload cpan“

• • e. “install Bundle::Apache2”

EVERYTHING=1“ (apxs source is /usr/local/sbin/apxs)

• • k. “make && make install“

• • l. “/usr/local/sbin/apxs –q LIBEXECDIR“ (should be /usr/local/libexec/apache22, so line would be libexec/apache22/mod_perl.so)

• • m. add to httpd.conf – LoadModule perl_module results of above/mod_perl.so (at bottom of LoadModule section)

• • n. “apachectl restart“

• • a. “cd /usr/ports/databases/postgresql81-server“

• • b. “make && make install“

• • c. Initialize postgresql -- “/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql initdb” (you should see it build the database files needed here, if it doesn’t, then the postgresql install was bad and you need to restart the build process)

• • d. Configure for OID

• • • i. “vi /usr/local/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf“

• • • ii. enable oid by changing to yes and unremarking line

• • e. reboot

• 11. Install teTex

• • a. “cd /usr/ports/print/teTeX”

• • b. “make && make install”

• 12. Install the required perl modules (At this point I recommend two interfaces into the box. I usually use the terminal and an SSH session. If a module errors out, go to a different screen and force the install before proceeding to the next item. I’ve found the order these modules load seems to matter. You must cd to /root/.cpan/build and find the package directory and cd into it to run the manual make. First run “perl Makefile.PL”, then “make” and finally “make install”)
