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
n. Select “Distributions”
o. Select “All”
p. Select “Yes”
q. Select “Exit”
r. Select “Media”
s. Select “CD/DVD”
t. Select “Commit”
u. Select “Yes”
v. Select “No”
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”
ii. ifconfig_fxp0=”your.ip.here netmask your.subnet.here”
iii. defaultrouter=”your.gateway.ip.here”
iv. inetd_enable=”YES”
v. sshd_enable=”YES”
vi. keyrate=”fast”
vii. update_motd=”NO”
viii. kern_securelevel_enable=”NO”
ix. usbd_enable=”YES”
x. syslogd_flags=”-s”
xi. sendmail_enable=”NONE”
xii. apache22_enable=”YES”
xiii. postgresql_enable=”YES”


d. Enable root ssh logon
i. Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow root login by changing to yes and unremarking line
e. “cd /etc”
f. “vi resolv.conf”
i. domain your.domain
ii. nameserver your.dns.ip.here


g. reboot
h. portsnap fetch
i. portsnap extract
3. Perl is already installed with Freebsd, use existing install (Satisfies Freeside install step 1.) However, make sure you're running Perl v5.8.8 'perl -v' otherwise you'll have some syntax errors later on.
4. Install Apache
a. “cd /usr/ports/www/apache22”
b. “make && make install” (use defaults for any gui)
c. “vi usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf”
i. Listen IP:Port
ii. ServerAdmin youremail@yourdomain.com
iii. ServerName your.servername:80
iv. Reboot
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”
f. “quit”
7. Install mod_perl – first download the latest mod_perl to one of your ftp servers
a. “mkdir /home/youruserfromstep2a/programs”
b. “cd /home/ youruserfromstep2a /programs”
c. “ftp yourftpserver“
d. “cd filelocation “
e. “bin“
f. “get mod_perl-2.0-current.tar.gz”
g. “quit“
h. “tar –xvzf mod<tab>“
i. “cd mod_perl-2.0.3“
j. “perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=/usr/ports/www/apache22\

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“
8. Install OpenSSH (use defaults on GUI)
a. “cd /usr/ports/security/openssh“
b. “make && make install && reboot“
9. Install rsync: (use defaults on GUI)
a. “cd /usr/ports/net/rsync“
b. “make && make install && reboot“
10. Install Postgresql (use defaults on GUI)
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”)
a. “perl –MCPAN –e shell;”
b. type “no”
c. install MIME::Base64
d. install Digest::MD5
e. install URI

Setting up a FreeSide server.

c. “cd filelocation “
d. “bin”
e. “get free<tab>”
f. “get Makefile”
g. “quit”
h. “tar –xvzf free<tab>“

3. “mkdir /usr/local/www/apache22/data/freeside”
4. “chown freeside:www /usr/local/www/apache22/data/freeside”
5. Allow the freeside user full access to the freeside database

c. set password (yourpasswdhere)
d. not a superuser
e. yes to create database
f. no to create role
6. Add the freeside database
a. su freeside
b. createdb –E sql_ascii freeside
7. Build and install the Perl modules

b. make perl-modules
c. make install-perl-modules
8. Create config files: “make create-config”
9. Edit /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf
a. Change user & group to freeside
10. apachectl restart
