Basically you should delete any php52 or pecl ports, and anything that depends on them. Then install the php53 equivalents, reinstall the pecl modules and finally reinstall your php-based applications. As ever, make sure you have good backups before starting this procedure. So: # pkg_info -IX '^(php5|pecl)' > /tmp/php-modules # pkg_delete -rX '^php5' 2>&1 > /tmp/php-deletion-log You might also want to save the output of 'pecl list' (if any) and 'pear list' if pecl and pear are installed on your system. Force the correct base version of php to be installed: # portmaster lang/php5 Reinstall any ported PHP applications, eg phpMyAdmin: # portmaster databases/phpmyadmin (etc., etc. for all the apps you had installed: check /tmp/php-deletion-log for details. This should install any necessary dependencies.) Finally, compare what you just installed with the record of what you previously installed to fix up any discrepancies, eg. if you have PHP applications installed from non-ports sources. There isn't an exact one-to-one correspondence between php52-* and php5-* ports (as I recall), since some functions have been moved into the PHP core, or shifted between different modules or moved to pear- or pecl- modules. However, those are generally the exceptions: if you can't find the exact equivalent php53 module, then (a) try the application without, (b) check the documentation on www.php.net for clues and finally (c) look for equivalent pear- or pecl- modules. Any PHP application installed from ports should automatically install everything it needs through the ports dependency mechanism. Also, if you use eAccelerator or similar, be sure to reinstall it after upgrading PHP. Note: the lang/php5 port is the correct port for php-5.3.x at the time of writing, but that port is very soon going to switch to providing php-5.4.x, and you would need to switch to lang/php53 if you don't want to go through yet another upgrade. Note 2: beware of the common problem with ordering of extension loadable modules in /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini -- some php modules depend on others; unfortunately there's no good way of controlling the order the modules are listed in extensions.ini to account for this. If php crashes on startup, swapping lines around in that file may well be the solution. It's been discussed many times on this list and freebsd-questions@..., so check the archives in case of difficulty. Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
