I'm assuming though, that you mean an IMAP *server* and a MySQL *server*; in which case I'd do either of those first, and followup with PHP and php-extensions. In any case, installing should be as simple as moving to the appropriate directory under /usr/ports, and typing (as root) "make install clean" at a command prompt. Although it'll be boring, I'd suggest sitting in the general vicinity of your terminal, as, if this is a fresh install, you will be prompted for configuration by a "curses" mode options menu. You can, however, get around this by doing all your config on the command-line; but that's a rather lengthy command string, and might take almost as much time to discover all the perfect values for. The good news: should you desire to reinstall the apps, the configuration should be saved for you. See ports(7) for more information. HTH, Kevin Kinsey
