Hello, This is my first try at FreeBSD. I've been able to get the install completed and that seems fine. I started compiling ports in and have discovered a problem. I compiled = in ProFTPD and MySQL along with all their dependencies and found that they = were not starting up when the box would boot up. I've checked /usr/local/etc/rc.d and can see the scripts there for = proftpd and mysql. I checked the /etc/defaults/rc.conf and the path for local_startup is set to /usr/local/etc/rc.d The execute bit is set for all the startup scripts in = /usr/local/etc/rc.d also.. I tried turning on the rc_debug option so that I could see what happened = in the dmesg. And I can see the following from dmesg -a output: /etc/rc: DEBUG: run_rc_command: evaluating local_start(). Starting local daemons: . But, the ProFTPD and MySQL still wont start.. I did some digging in the scripts in /etc/rc.d and found the local and localdaemons scripts.. After playing around a bit, I found that the localdaemons script is actually what executes the local scripts.. But = for whatever reason, local is not starting localdaemons. I can start both daemons manually by running their scripts manually, so theres no problem that I can see with the installation.. I tried adding a line to the /etc/rc.d/local script that called the localdaemons script.. When I rebooted, MySQL and ProFTPD start fine = during boot.. Anyone have any ideas on this one?? Darin - Here is the local script: #!/bin/sh # # $NetBSD: local,v 1.6 2002/03/22 04:33:59 thorpej Exp $ # $FreeBSD: src/etc/rc.d/local,v 1.4 2002/10/17 23:46:32 sobomax Exp $ # # PROVIDE: local # REQUIRE: DAEMON # BEFORE: LOGIN # KEYWORD: FreeBSD NetBSD shutdown . /etc/rc.subr name=3D"local" start_cmd=3D"local_start" stop_cmd=3D"local_stop" local_start() { echo -n 'Starting local daemons:' if [ -f /etc/rc.local ]; then . /etc/rc.local fi echo '.' } # . /etc/rc.d/localdaemons start ##I added this line to = call localdaemons. When uncommented MySQL and ProFPTD start fine. local_stop() { echo -n 'Shutting down local daemons:' if [ -f /etc/rc.shutdown.local ]; then . /etc/rc.shutdown.local fi echo '.' } load_rc_config $name run_rc_command "$1"
