So I have decided to jump into FreeBSD and have turned an old PC into a makeshift server. Some employees at work have prior knowledge of FreeBSD, so I figured I'd join the bandwagon.

I can say... I am definitely learning quite a bit about FreeBSD server administration. Being that it is my 5 time installing the software, I'm finding the little tricks of the OS.

One issue I ran into with the installation of PHP5... I kept receiving this error message: "local modification time does not match remote". I did a quick google search and found the quick solution to fix this issue.

cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
make distclean
make install clean

Essentially it removes the downloaded files and will allow you to get them once again... then you can proceed to the installation.

Hopefully more to come later with the FreeBSD experiences.
