Here is a sample of what I do after I first install a FreeBSD box:  After installing packages, etc., you might, as root, run rehash so that the commands in each package are available.

1.  Install PortInstall- pkg_add -r portupgrade

2.  Install BASH- pkg_add -r bash

3.  Install the ports collection:  portsnap fetch, portsnap extract, portsnap update

4.  Add ‘ServerName testingforecho:80′ under the ServerName section in your /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf

5.  Add ‘kldload accf_http’ to your /boot/loader.conf, then run ‘kldload accf_http’ as root.

6.  Add your hostname to /etc/hosts, like:

::1                     localhost localhost.my.domain
127.0.0.1               localhost .servername.com

7.  Start apache, like this /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start

(It should be noted that at this point, /usr/local/www/apache22 is owned by root.  You should chown -R www:www apache22)

MYSQL

1.  cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql55-server/
2.  make install clean
3.  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start
4.  mysqladmin -u root password newpassword

PERL (might already be installed)

1.  cd /usr/ports/language/perl5.10
2.  make install clean

PHP5

1.  cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
2.  make config (select apache module and zlib, or you’ll have to recompile, later.)
3.  make install clean
4.  cd /usr/ports/databases/php5-mysql and “make install clean”
5.  cd /usr/ports/www/php5-session
6.  cd /usr/ports/graphics/php5-gd and “make install clean”
7.  Make sure that your httpd.conf has LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache/libphp5.so added to it.
8.  cd /usr/ports/lang/php5-extentions and “make install clean”
8.5  cd /usr/ports/archivers/php5-zlib and then make install clean
9.  cp /usr/local/etc/php.ini-dist /usr/local/etc/php.ini

10.  To the end of your httpd.conf, add:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
11.  Find the line that has "DirectoryIndex index.html" and change it to "DirectoryIndex index.php index.html"
12.  Remove the comment in front of "Include etc/apache22/extra/httpd-languages.conf"
13.  Edit /usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/httpd-languages.conf and add AddDefaultCharset On" at the end of its file.

Networking
1.  In /etc/rc.conf, add something like:  ifconfig_bge0=”inet 192.168.1.13 netmask 255.255.255.0″
2.  In /etc/resolv.conf, add something like:  nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx
3.  Add default route, like this:  route add default 192.168.0.1

So according to this new thing I’m playing with (DailyBurn), I am supposed to keep exercising and only take in about 2100 calories a day.  As an example as to how this might change my diet, it’s 3:27 PM, right now.  I’ve already taken in 2314 calories.  So…I’m gonna starve.  Maybe I’ll start tomorrow.  Not excited about this, but need to lose weight and exercise more.  Also need to be healthier and not have so many asthma issues.

Yesterday morning, I went for a run (the first in 16 days.)  It was cold and my asthma caught on pretty quickly.  I tried to take my inhaler only once every mile (these days, that’s all I can really hope for).

Several things have contributed to my asthma being out of control.

1.  I haven’t been taking my control inhaler like I’m supposed to.

2.  I’m overweight by about 20 pounds.

3.  The air is cold (yesterday, I finished the last mile, indoors, on a treadmill.)

4.  I’m not running consistently.

All of these things are adding up, fast.  Gotta get it under control.  I have a lot of races that I want to be in shape for.

Sometimes Google’s news headlines are entertaining.

Roxie and Reagan went to the doctor, tonight, because they’ve had symptoms of conjuctivitus (their eyes have been draining) and Reagan’s complained about her ears.

The doctor confirmed an ear infection, so they are being prescribed an antibiotic. So we are on, like, week 5 of someone in the fam being sick.

This is a test
