Bug 128854 – More suggestions about Jffnms how-to

• Product: [OLD] Docs on www.gentoo.org
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description James Horton 2006-04-04 18:50:59 UTC]

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.
