I figured out that doing "make config" in /usr/ports/lang/php5 would bring up the screen the handbook was referring to. I'm guessing perhaps that somehow sysinstall sets that configuration for me automatically. eg: when I install apache web server I would assume that sysinstally would set the option to build mod_php. I was given the impression that I had to build apache and php5 from source which is something I'd be willing to do but like I was hinting at in my previous message I remember a time when sysinstall would just sort of do it all for me. Then again, I think that might have been through some apache+mod_php type package available in a previous versions. -Balin On 7/17/07, Lowell Gilbert <freebsd-questions-local@be-well.ilk.org> wrote: > > "Balin Hansen" <balin.hansen@gmail.com> writes: > > > According to your handbook under the Apache HTTP Server section > sysinstall > > is supposed to present me with an OPTIONS menu when I try to install > > lang/php5 but it never has and I've been pulling my hair out > > trying reinstall from scratch, etc. I noticed that I can build php from > > /usr/ports/lang/php5 but I remember a time when adding mod_php to an > apache > > install wasn't nearly this complicated.
