Another question from my friend. Is it real gigabit card?
Hmmm, I dunno but after few moment :
edp# cd /sys/i386/conf/
edp# ls
.cvsignore GENERIC MAC NOTES XBOX
DEFAULTS GENERIC.hints Makefile PAE
edp# cat GENERIC | grep vge
device vge # VIA VT612x gigabit Ethernet
edp#
Yes, its gigabit ethernet card 
Since last time I install php-fpm in my freebsd box I still looking way to make virtualhost. I think its not easy to make vhost in nginx but I’m wrong
Just add :
server {
directive
}
will add new vhost.
Full sample from my vhost :
server {
listen 80;
server_name sandbox.digitalfusi.com;
location / {
index index.php index.html;
root /usr/local/www/nginx/sandbox;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
/usr/local/www/nginx/sandbox$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
another feature that I learn too is ‘autoindex’ since my friend need to list all files and directory if no index files exists.
For more fancy index I need to recompile it with fancyindex but I’m OK with it
Full sample of nginx.conf for two vhost with autouindex on and off can be download from here.
I’m bit lazy to read manual and prefer to read it as a case. Nginx is my favourite now, by collecting related tutorial, blog posting and articles I hope I can learn nginx more.
Links I found so far :
More links will be add.

Nginx already in my list for almost 3 month but I don’t have time for play around with it. As usual freebsd ports is my preferable method to install software in FreeBSD
I’m lucky to get php-fpm ports from php-fpm site that work for php-5.2.3RC. After change it a bit for php 5.2.6 I can test it together with nginx stable from ports too.
Here’s my steps for install nginx with php-fpm using FreeBSD ports :
1. Install nginx
alamster# cd /usr/ports/www/nginx
alamster# make install
I choose :
HTTP_MODULE
HTTP_REWRITE_MODULE
HTTP_SSL_MODULE
HTTP_STATUS_MODULE
2. Install php
alamster# cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
alamster# make install
I choose :
CLI
CGI
SUHOSIN
IPV6
FASTCGI
PATHINFO
Call to undefined function imagecreatefromjpeg() in /home/materi/prog/cms_study/admin/pageuploadadd.php on line 88
Â
Yes, that message show up when my friend try to access web based application.
I think thats my fault
Doing preliminary check :
edp# pkg_info | grep php5-gd
edit /etc/make.conf
PERL_VER=5.8.8
PERL_VERSION=5.8.8
WITHOUT_X11=yes
save.
edp# whereis php5-gd
php5-gd: /usr/ports/graphics/php5-gd
edp# cd /usr/ports/graphics/php5-gd && make install
edp# apachectl restart
done.
That message disappear
Yes, that message display when I try to start apache inside my jail box.
 [Thu Jul 10 13:23:41 2008] [alert] mod_unique_id: unable to gethostbyname(â€mailserverâ€)
To resolve this problem, just edit /etc/hosts
add record for ‘mailserver’ entry, like :
::1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â localhost localhost.my.domain
127.0.0.1Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â localhost localhost.my.domain
172.88.1.5Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â email.rasyid.com mailserver
Restart apache and test it yourself.
AtMail Open, I just know if atmail have free version.
Being curious on how it goes in FreeBSD box, I give it a try as my campus interface.
As usual I try to record it in notepad plus screenshot for guide, perhaps useful
1. Download latest version
mail# wget http://atmail.org/download/atmailopen.tgz
2. Extract and change ownership
mail# tar xvzf atmailopen.tgz
mail# chown -R www:www atmailopen
3. Create database and grant access
mail# mysql -uroot -p
Enter password:

A client need to install wordpress multi user to teach their employee about blog. They want it installed in their server, running FreeBSD 7 stable.
Here’s step by step install wpmu in FreeBSD, might be useful for someone
1. Download latest wpmu file.
wget http://mu.wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
2. Extract and rename
phantom# pwd
/home/phantom/public_html
phantom# ls
info.php     latest.tar.gz
phantom# rm latest.tar.gz && mv wordpress-mu-1.5.1 wpmu
phantom# ls
info.php     wpmu

I just replace first HD in our email server with new one, little HD to replace 500GB HD
Until I forgot to copy important file in old HD to new one.
My friend ask me to show my way to find out hard disk location in FreeBSD.
System layout before put old HD :
email# df -H
Filesystem    Size   Used  Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad4s1a   2.1G    40M   1.9G    2%   /
devfs         1.0k   1.0k     0B  100%   /dev
/dev/ad4s1d    21G   403k    19G    0%   /home
/dev/ad4s1f    40G   2.0G    35G    5%   /usr
/dev/ad4s1e    10G    60M   9.5G    1%   /var
/dev/ad5s1d   484G   102G   344G   23%   /email
/dev/ad6s1d   484G   3.8G   442G    1%   /email2
My first method is : dmesg
email# dmesg
ad4: 76319MB <Seagate ST380215AS 4.AAB> at ata2-master SATA150
ad5: 476940MB <Seagate ST3500320AS SD15> at ata2-slave SATA150
ad6: 476940MB <Seagate ST3500630AS 3.AAK> at ata3-master SATA150
ad7: 476940MB <Seagate ST3500320AS SD15> at ata3-slave SATA150
Yes, ad7. Last added HD detected as ad7
Second method : sysinstall
