I did not yet try running it without jail. I wanted to keep such things
inside the jails, because our last server (6.2) had quite some conflicts
between specific configurations of some ports and I didn't want to run
into those issues again.

I did not yet update the ports tree because I am behind a stone age dsl
line. Getting the new dist files for my required ports would probably
take one or two days (if no transfer error occurs). Frankly speaking - I
switched our new server into production for our intranet after testing
and tuning it for a week, but because the wiki part of it is not that
important I probably didn't notice, that it has those issues. I would
assume, that the wiki started well at some point, but I am not sure.

To me it is interesting, that I can run start lighttpd/moinmoin inside
the jail manually, but not automatically when the jail starts up.

best regards, Rainer
