While installing Apache 2.2.21 in /usr/local/www/apache22, an error "/usr/local/build-1/libtool: not found" occurred.

You just need deinstall apr1, and reinstall apache22 again.

#pkgdb -F; portsclean -CDD; portsnap fetch update

# cd /usr/ports/devel/apr1
# make deinstall clean

# cd /usr/ports/www/apache22
# make install clean

MacOSX 10.7 Lion doesn't support old version of netatalk (2.0.x?). Lion won't mount older version of netatalk volume and an error occurred.

It needs to be updated to the latest version.
After the update, if CNID DB error occurred, ' cnid_metad_enable="YES" ' must be set in /etc/rc.conf, then restarting netatalk fixes this problem.

An error of FreeBSD on VMware Fusion "lnc0: Missed packet -- no receive buffer" was sometimes annoying me.

When bunch of this error stacks, virtual machine stacks too.After upgrading Fusion 3, it seems to run more stable, but this error still occurs.

I had been looking for solution to resolve this problem for several months and I found two solutions. The one is installing VMware tools and using vmxnet for Network interface, and another is editing .vmx file and add alternate NIC statement (e1000) in it.

VMware tools for fusion supports ony FreeBSD 6.3 and 7.0. Unfortunatelly I am using 6.2, so my environment was rejected by its installer.

I decieded to change NIC to e1000, and as a result it runs without problems.

After installing php5 from ports, php error said "preg_match" was undefined.

This is because I forgot check install option "PCRE" while making port. Just make clean, rmconfig, and reinstall with PCRE, then restart Apache.

Errors occured while compiling autoconf-2.62 of FreeBSD ports,

"autoconf-2.62.texi:1723: Unknown command `'.".

To solve this problem, remove old version of makeinfo from /usr/bin/makeinfo, and install new version of makeinfo by installing textinfo from ports (/usr/ports/print/textinfo).

Apache2.1.11+php4.4.9 (on FreeBSD6.2) makes httpd processes stacked, and they are going to be dumb.

The problem was fixed by upgrading php to the version 5.2.8.

I guess noone runs two FreeBSD on VMWare Fusion on Mac mini as web and mail server simultaneously with Apple Share as file server, Printer Share for printer server and Fax Modem for fax server.

I added Apple External Modem (Apple USB Modem) recently to unify VMware server, file, fax and printer server in a Mac mini.

But after that, USB was going to be dead and MacOSX was stacked while connecting Apple External Modem.

I guess it will happen even if the guest OS is Windows or Linux.

Disable default C1 code by "defc1 off".
This setting enables inputting Japanese.

startup_message off
escape ^z^z
vbell off
defencoding sjis
defc1 off

Extra: for scrolling back on Terminal.app of MacOSX

After installing SPAMASSASSIN, an error occured on its startup.

The message is

# error: Can't locate Sys/Syslog/Win32.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/BSDPAN /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8) at (eval 19) line 2.

You can fix this Syslog.pm bug by commenting out the line in Syslog.pm (I edited "/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach/Sys/Syslog.pm" on my system/FreeBSD6.2.)

# use EventLog on Win32
my $is_Win32 = $^O =~ /Win32/i;
#eval "use Sys::Syslog::Win32"; # commented out this line

I tried to install FreeBSD 7.0 on Dell PowerEdge R200. Dell officially supports only Windows Server 2003 and RedHat Enterprise Linux though, FreeBSD 7.0 was successfully installed on R200.

It runs totally so smooth.
