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 :)

Warning Nuffnanger's!

Dear Nuffnangers, As you might already know, there are 2 different types of campaigns from Nuffnang: Metered (mCPM) Campaigns , which pay according to the number of visitors who see the ads; and Cost-Per-Click (CPC) campaigns, which pay bloggers based on the number of clicks generated on the ads. It has come to our attention that certain groups have been committing click fraud, which is defined as clicking on CPC advertisements intentionally just to generate earnings for a blog's owner. Do note that this act is an abuse of our Terms & Conditions under Section 6. Banner ads are only supposed to be clicked on if the viewer is interested to find out more about the advertising campaign, and not for the intention of earning extra money. Should this situation worsen, the frequency of ad campaigns might be significantly reduced as we'll only be able to sell ad spaces on blogs with no click fraud record. Our system is capable of tracking these illegal actions...
