install webserver

How to install a webserver on FreeBSD

to install:

1. perl (installed by portupgrade)
2. ruby (installed by portupgrade)
3. mysql50 (didn't seem to listen to my WITH_OPENSSL=yes statement in /etc/make.conf)
4. apache22
5. python (installed by apache)
6. php5
7. php5-extesions
8. phpmyadmin (installs a TON of php extensions)
9. pear-DB (also installs pear)
10. apache logfile analysis program -
11. ImageMagick/magickwand -

you must define things in make.conf and pkgtools.conf in order for things to go right - make.conf is invoked when directly installing a port, and pkgtools.conf is used when upgrading or installing dependencies

Install apache22

The following isn't needed if apache_enable=“YES” in make.conf:

# kldload accf_http

Installed as dependency of Apache

build after apache:

# cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
# make install clean

build after php5:

1. # cd /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions

2. run make:
   

   # make

   1. I used the following options for my build:
      

      WITH_BZ2=yes
      WITH_CTYPE=yes
      WITH_CURL=yes
      WITH_DBA=yes
      WITH_DBASE=yes
      WITH_DOM=yes
      WITH_EXIF=yes
      WITH_FILEINFO=yes
      WITH_FILTER=yes
      WITH_GD=yes
      WITH_GETTEXT=yes
      WITH_HASH=yes
      WITH_ICONV=yes
      WITH_JSON=yes
      WITH_MBSTRING=yes
      WITH_MCRYPT=yes
      WITH_MYSQL=yes
      WITH_OPENSSL=yes
      WITH_PCRE=yes
      WITH_PDO=yes
      WITH_PDO_SQLITE=yes
      WITH_POSIX=yes
      WITH_SESSION=yes
      WITH_SIMPLEXML=yes
      WITH_SNMP=yes
      WITH_SOCKETS=yes

      WITH_TOKENIZER=yes
      WITH_XML=yes
      WITH_XMLREADER=yes
      WITH_XMLWRITER=yes
      WITH_ZIP=yes

3. run make install clean:
   

   # make clean

# cd /usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin
# make install clean

(this will also install pear)

# cd /usr/ports/databases/pear-DB
# make install clean

# cd /usr/ports/devel/pear-Config
# make install clean

# cd /usr/ports/devel/pear-Console_Color
# make install clean

# cd /usr/ports/devel/pear-Console_Getargs
# make install clean

# cd /usr/ports/devel/pear-XML_RSS
# make install clean

# cd /usr/ports/devel/pear-XML_NITF 
# make install clean

# cd /usr/ports/devel/pear-XML_SVG
# make install clean

# cd /usr/ports/devel/pear-XML_Serializer
# make install clean

pear-XML_Transformer

pear-XML_Tree

pear-XML_XPath

1. setup certificates
2. configure apache log rotation (/etc/newsyslog.conf):
   

   /var/log/httpd-access.log               644  7     100  24    B    /var/run/httpd.pid 30
   /var/log/httpd-error.log                644  7     100  24    B    /var/run/httpd.pid 30
   /var/log/httpd-ssl_request.log          644  7     100  24    B    /var/run/httpd.pid 30
   /var/log/httpd-svn.log                  644  7     100  24    B    /var/run/httpd.pid 30

3. configure mysql (my.cnf - examples in /usr/local/share/mysql/)
