Sendmail problem

I got my Jails running 3 web server with sendmail enable. This is to enable my web server to send an email using the PHP mail() function. After a while the server is in testing period, I encounter a slowness when trying to post/insert into the database(that's also one of the jail). Further investigation, I found that in my web server log (/var/log/messages) with the following warning (even the sendmail is still functioning) :

Jan 13 16:25:44 httpd-2-server sendmail[46097]: unable to qualify my own domain name (httpd-2-server) -- using short name

Jan 13 16:25:49 httpd-2-server sm-mta[46118]: o0DGPi16046116: SYSERR(root): hash map "Alias0": missing map file /etc/mail/aliases.db: No such file or directory

For the "unable to qualify my own domain name (httpd-2-server) -- using short name", I resolve through setting up the /etc/hosts with something like this :

::1 localhost httpd-2-server.local
127.0.0.1 localhost httpd-2-server.local
192.168.1.3 httpd-2-putera httpd-2-putera.local

and for the ""Alias0": missing map file /etc/mail/aliases.db: No such file or directory", I resolve by issue this command :

shell>sendmail -bi
/etc/mail/aliases: 27 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 275 bytes total

If you wondering what the -bi is, I get this from the man pages

-bi Initialize the alias database.

and yes, the issue is resolve :)

FAMPP - Installing MySQL Server

simpler command :) #pkg_add -r mysql51-server from this command it will install mysql server and also mysql client for the server once done we can enable it on boot up by editing rc.conf #ee /etc/rc.conf add this following line mysql_enable="YES" After that we can start the service by this command : #sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql- server.sh start Then we have to configure our root login for mysql which is by default it is blank. By using a password for the root login it will be more safe to outsider :) #mysql -u root #SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('urpasswordhere'); once done try to login using root user #mysql -u root -p Enter password: If that appear then you have successfully configuring your mysql server :)
