So recently I successfully installed and configured a freebsd jail and I would like to install
software within my jail but I cannot connect to the network. I'm trying to setup an apache+php+mysql installation within the jail and have the webserver accessible by users. Here is my rc.conf for the jail.
...
jail_enable="YES" # Set to NO to disable starting of any jails
jail_list="mambo2" # Space separated list of names of jails
jail_mambo2_rootdir="/usr/jails/j01" # jail's root directory
jail_mambo2_hostname="mambo2.ug" # jail's hostname
jail_mambo2_ip="192.168.100.174" # jail's IP address
jail_mambo2_devfs_enable="YES" # mount devfs in the jail
jail_mambo2_devfs_ruleset="mambo2_ruleset" # devfs ruleset to apply to jail
here is my jail ifconfig output
mambo2# ifconfig
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
ether 00:c1:28:00:48:db
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
plip0: flags=108810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT> metric 0 mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384
mambo2#
It does not show the IP address I configured within /etc/rc.conf. But, when I list the running jails, it shows the right IP address.
Here is a list of jails running
[root@mambo /usr/home/jtumusiime]# jls
JID IP Address Hostname Path
5 192.168.100.174 mambo2.ug /usr/jails/j01
I also created a /etc/resolv.conf for nameservers. This was not in existence so I'm not quite sure if it is necessary?
mambo2# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.100.251
nameserver 8.8.8.8
mambo2#
my host has 4 ip addresses, 3 public and one private: 192.168.100.173
I tried creating a jail using ezjail and this does not work out.
[root@mambo /usr/src]# ezjail-admin update -p -i
Error: Cannot find your copy of the FreeBSD source tree in .
Consider using 'ezjail-admin install' to create the base jail from an ftp server.

Could not fetch base from ftp.freebsd.org.
Maybe your release (7.1-RELEASE) is specified incorrectly or the host ftp.freebsd.org does not provide that release build.
Use the -r option to specify an existing release or the -h option to specify an alternative ftp server.
Querying your ftp-server... The ftp server you specified (ftp.freebsd.org) seems to provide the following builds:

I do not want to upgrade my freebsd installation. I have googled around; but all in vail.
Thank you
