To run the phabricator daemons from startup, add phd_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf. You can control the daemons using service start service stop etc. Before starting the daemons, please finish configuring your Phabricator instance. This involves configuring a web server (Apache, NGINX, LightHTTP) and a database server (MySQL, MariaDB). You can find detailed instructions on how to finish your setup at: https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabricator/article/configuration_guide/ Please note that all files are located in %%PREFIX%%/lib/php/phabricator, so if the documentation refers to ./bin, this means %%PREFIX%%/lib/php/phabricator/bin, if it refers to webroot, this means %%PREFIX%%/lib/php/phabricator/webroot. You might want to install textproc/py-pygments to improve syntax highlighting. Starting with version 20170630, phabricator daemons run as user www by default. If you're updating from a version before 20170630 you will need to fix permissions of /var/tmp/phd and repositories. Alternatively you can continue to run phabricator daemons as root by adding phd_user="root" to /etc/rc.conf.
