When installing PHP 5.0.2, how are you able to install php and select different options to be installed with it. It use to be that a menu would come up and you could select things like, curl support or filePro support, etc. Now what I've done is I have edited the Makefile in the /usr/ports/lang/php5 directory to enable curl and so one but it doesn't seem to work. My install always fails. Is there something I'm not doing right? I little help would be great.

Thanks,

Zum

I cannot speak for BSD, but on Linux, I download and uncompress the source tarball. In that tarball is a script called "configure", which programmatically creates your makefile for you. It is to this script that you pass the arguments which will eventually set which optional parts of PHP get compiled into the software.

Under FreeBSD php now is loaded from /usr/ports/lang/php5. To install any extensions, you use /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions.

You will then see the old familiar options list.

I suggest restoring your Makefile to original state first.

After installing php port from that directory what do you add to the rc startup file so that php will start with the server?

I added the AddType application/x-httpd-php .php line that was mentioned at the end of the install to httpd.conf, but I don't think php is loading.

Make sure you have the following line in your apache httpd.conf file

LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

This loads php when apache starts. There is no seperate command to start php.

To test if php is working, create a file in your web page dir like this

<html>
<body>
<?php echo $phpinfo(); ?>
</body>
</html>

Change

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
to
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

It should then work with both .php and .html extensions.

See how you go
