As one of the famous content management system WordPress is one my favourite since 2007 (this blog use serendipity , blogspot custom domain then change to wordpress) and stick to it till now. For me this software is simple to use and I can handle the maintenance.
This time I’ll show how to install wordpress on FreeBSD 10 using two methods : ports and pkg way.
For this purpose I use FreeBSD 10 provided by vultr. I use 768 MB VPS located on New Jersey.
Update FreeBSD
# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install
# uname -a
FreeBSD wordpress.rasyid.net 10.0-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p9 #0: Mon Sep 15 14:35:52 UTC 2014 [email protected]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
Install Pkg
# pkg info
Install WordPress on FreeBSD 10 Using ports
Pkg installed before installation from ports
# pkg info
pkg-1.3.8_3 Package manager
Get latest ports
# portsnap fetch
# portsnap extract
Install WordPress from ports
FreeBSD ports provide wordpress that located in /usr/ports/www/wordpress/
You can install it straight from command line;
# cd /usr/ports/www/wordpress/
# make install
You’ll see a few question like this
Just press OK. But you’ll see many question and if you don’t like it you can hit CTRL+C then reissue the command:
# cd /usr/ports/www/wordpress/ && make rmconfig
# make install clean BATCH=yes
If you do this way you get many package installed like this one

Wow, a lot of package installed. Specially X11 related package. To avoid this package you can put this lines :
#echo 'WITHOUT_X11=yes' >> /etc/make.conf
#echo 'WITHOUT=X11' >> /etc/make.conf
Ok, now let start over by delete all package.
# pkg delete -a
# cd /usr/ports/www/wordpress/ && make rmconfig
===> Removing user-configured options for wordpress-4.0_1,1
Clean all
# make install clean BATCH=yes
Reinstall again using the above command give me this package list

Little more than ports version. No perl, python, cmake etc.
I think I fell in love with pkg now.
Off course this install is not fully working of WordPress, no webserver, no database. I’ll continue this post for making it run well.
Stay tune 🙂
Update : the post is here.
