1) This line: "# psql template1 postgres < /usr/portage/net-analyzer/jffnms/files/postgresql_db_tables" Needs to be changed to: "# psql template1 postgres < /usr/portage/net-analyzer/jffnms/files/postgresql_db_table" 2) php flags: This document discusses the flags for jffnms: http://www.jffnms.org/jffnms/INSTALL its suggest these flags: snmp, ssl, gd, sockets, mysql or pgsql, pcre, posix, ob and session for php-4.4.2, I used these flags with success: gd nis dba ldap -mysql cli -recode wddx sockets session spl snmp posix. I suggest at a minimum the recommeded php-4.4.2 flags shlould be: posix session pcre sockets gd ssl wddx dba gd cli. Regardless of the default minimum flags suggested, It would be a great idea to list all of the flags that are relvant to php-4 on gentoo. 3) A few more details on postgres or a link to a current 8.0* version of postgres would be helpful too: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/index.html All of the gentoo docs on postgresql I found are dated.

Well, since I'm a bit busy with real life I'm posting here to give a feedback on this bug: I noted the suggestions on this bug as well as on 127455 and I'll provide the doc team with a patch in at most 7 days (more likely to be posted between April 21th and 23th). Thanks for suggestions
Created attachment 85281 [details, diff] newdoc.diff This patch adds Jame's suggestions to our doc. One thing I'd like to point is that in regards to Php's Use flags I just pointed the minimal to run Jffnms (I'm not a php programmer, thus I don't feel confident enough to give suggestions about how they should install php). Thanks.
Both committed. Thanks for the patches.
