FreeBSD - 7.2 -> 8.2 Upgrade Problem

One of our box at data center using FreeBSD 7.2-p6 and after that we don't have any plan to upgrade the FreeBSD since everything works well without errors. Our implementation using Jails is perfect and work like a load balancing inside the FreeBSD. PF work as the firewall and load balancer with Apache.

Using freebsd-update upgrade is easy, once your enter the command everything will work with order and you can relax and take a cup of coffee while waiting the process upgrade.

1) Suddenly we got some problem when tried to upgrade the 3rd party package with portupgrade when at the end some error appeared.


/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libcrypt.so.4" not found, required by "httpd"
[: -eq: argument expected

Searching around found some solution to install compat7x from /usr/ports/misc

2) Once the libs problem solved, another problem came up. pkgdb.db is not recognized!

/var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db: unexpected file type or format

Google around I found some convincing solutions that can be implemented :)

FreeBSD :- Nginx , PHP-FPM

One of my forum that I managed previously used Apache as a web server. From my observation Apache with PHP suck a lot of memory resources but that doesn't hang up the server. So google around and I found others using Apache as a proxy using reverse proxy. While Nginx serve as front end web server. The result is good! Nginx still using minimum memory usage! impressive :) But that's does not stop me from searching other solution that best for the forum, and I found solution for Nginx with PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager). Before that I've tried with spawn-fcgi but the process had died repeatedly. Not satisfied with that I've tried PHP-FPM ! Now stick with Nginx + PHP-FPM very satisfied! :)
