Quick Installation Guide

  • Running webserver like Apache required
  • webserver must have PHP support enabled
  • Read/write access to PHP tmp directory (which is configured via php.ini)

If those requirements are fullfilled, you may download FreeBSD-Updates-V[n].[n].tbz into your www root. In my case this would look like:

root@Server-01: cd /usr/local/www/
root@Server-01: wget http://optimate.dl.sourceforge.net/project/freebsd-updates/FreeBSD-Update_V1.0/FreeBSD-Updates-V1.0.tbz
root@Server-01: tar -xvf ./FreeBSD-Updates-V1.0.tbz
root@Server-01: chown -R root:wheel ./FreeBSD-Updates
root@Server-01: chmod -R 0755 ./FreeBSD-Updates

Now you should be able to open a webbrowser of your choice [ keep in mind, that I developed and tested with FireFox and Safari only ;) ]

Also keep in mind that IP and pathname may differ according to your webserver setup.
==> http://127.0.0.1/FreeBSD-Updates

What to do if things don't work out for you?

1. Ensure your webserver is running
service apache24 status
sockstat -l4 | grep 'httpd'

2. Ensure PHP support is enabled and working with your webserver
echo '' > /usr/local/www/index.php

3. Try your luck with the SourceForge fourm "Troubleshooting"

4. If none of the above resulted in any progress, feel free to contact me - but please make sure you've tried enough before you start mailing ;)

Otherwhise lots of fun with your new & handy tool

Cheers
