In localhost.freebsd.questions you write:

>When I type "updatedb", error message: no such command!! There is no 
>"updatedb" to update database!! Is there other command?

I believe that updatedb is in libexec.  Try typing the full path:

/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb

Or, run the weekly script by hand:

/etc/weekly
