Hi,

Edit /etc/rc.conf and put line below:

defaultrouter="default_router_ip"

thanks! I installed Apache from the ports so its all installed in /usr/local/. Do I just have to put apache2enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf to make it start up or is there something different because its in /usr/local/?

Hi,

If you installed from port, go to /usr/local/etc/rc.d. There is a file called apache.sh. View the file and you should see what you need to setup under rc.conf file.

apache_enable="YES"
apache_flags="-DSSL"
apache_pidfile="/var/run/httpd.pid"

This is example where I run apache with modssl.

Excellent! thanks! Is this the way most of the ports run? As in they have instructions in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/whatever.sh? I'm still pretty new to fBSD...

Hi,

Most of the port apps that I used tend to use rc.conf file to auto start during boot up. Some of them you dont have to do anything. Usually port startup script will install script under /usr/local/etc/rc.d . Do check the script in case you miss anything.
