+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Several steps need to be taken to properly configure the NTP daemon.

1. First, create or update the file /etc/ntp.conf.  Several
   example configuration files can be found here:

     /usr/local/share/examples/ntp

2. Now xntpd can be started with:

     /etc/rc.d/xntpd start

   Or to start 'xntpd' at every boot, add it to pkg_scripts in
   /etc/rc.conf.local.

#vi /etc/rc.conf.local

Add as following :

pkg_scripts="xntpd"

Edit /etc/ntp.conf as following :

server 3.my.pool.ntp.org
server 0.asia.pool.ntp.org
server 3.asia.pool.ntp.org

This will affect on your next reboot. To start xntpd simply type :

#/etc/rc.d/xntpd start

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! :)

BACKUP - Always backup your data at the first place. - Save it to the proper place so that if anything goes wrong, you can export back your data. mysqldump -u root -pYOURPASSWORD --all-databases > allbackup.sql & If you don't want to wait and you know that the current database is big, just put the process at the background so that you can monitor the process using top :) - Backup your current configuration files cp /etc/my.cnf /tmp/my.cnf.bak 2. Let's go If you're installing mysql from webtatic and made a replacing package name , you may encountered an error like Error: mysql55w conflicts with MariaDB-server-5.5....
