I wrote a post on install ITune Server on FC6 (http://www.elian.co.uk/2007/04/12/atomic-band-itune-server/)

Due to recent upgrade our internal server to FreeBSD 7, I am looking for a similar solution for ITune Server on FB7.  When FB7 first released, the default C compile is gcc v4.2 and mt-daap was “known-not-compatible” with gcc 4. However, recently I find the new version or new port of mt-daap is fixed the problem with gcc v4.

To install mt-daap, compare with installing it on FC, it is so easy!
1. Make sure your ports are up-to-date. My prefer tool for manaing FreeBSD ports is portsnap, so simply run “portsnap fetch update”
2.Go to mt-daap folder(/usr/ports/audio/mt-daapd)
3. make install clean
4. OK, you got iTune server now!
5. TO configure it up, go to /usr/local/etc/.  Copy mt-daapd.conf.sample to mt-daapd.conf and change admin_pw and mp3_dir. Everything is done

If you got troubles to create playlist, try to use this only tool http://migrantcoder.com/daapd/ or for advanced users, read wiki on its offical website http://wiki.fireflymediaserver.org/Smart_playlists

* Minimal installation(very simply, google it or follow the manual book on FreeBSD website). enable softupdate for non-root slice

* Install man package

* Install cvsup by pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui (run rehash or re-login)

* Install vim “pkg_add -r vim-lite”

* Using vim instead of vi(may have security issue, careful!). ln -s /usr/local/bin/vim /bin/vi

* Copy /usr/local/share/vim71/vimrc_example.vim to /usr/local/share/vim71/vimrc (gramma hightlight)

* I prefer to use stable-supfile, so copy it to /root and change host address

* Copy /var/share/examples/cvsup/refuse to /var/db/sup. Dont download source code other language, english only.

* Update source code tree now, by cvsup stable-supfile.

* It will take some time, so sit back and have a cup of coffe ^_^

* I personally like to use portsnap to update port tree, so “portsnap fetch extract”

* Copy and edit /etc/make.conf. Change CFLAG and disable GUI by
NO_X= true
NO_GUI= true
WITHOUT_X11= yes
WITHOUT_XPM= yes

* Edit /etc/rc.conf

* To compile kernel, you can follow my another post on
http://www.elian.co.uk/2007/12/23/compile-freebsd-kernel/

* Email system:
I prefer postfix, and you can find many webpage in google on how to replace sendmail with postfix. and it is easy to do so

cd /usr/src/mail/postfix
make install
select SASL2 and TLS, if you need MySQL support, simply add MySQL
add sendmail_enable=”NONE” to /etc/rc.conf
cp /etc/default/periodic.conf /etc/periodic.conf and change following directive (Disable sendmail dail)

daily_clean_hoststat_enable="NO"
daily_status_mail_rejects_enable="NO"
daily_status_include_submit_mailq="NO"
daily_submit_queuerun="NO"

* Config postfix by editing /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf

* Install other services
