A while ago I decided FreeBSD 5.4 + Apache2 + PHP 5 + PostgreSQL + MySQL was a decent way to set up a development server. So I put all this on a dual Xeon platform - spent ages configuring and getting things working together but eventually succeeded. I then purchased Zend Studio and loaded that on a Windoze XP workstation and loaded Zend Platform on the server so I could achieve remote de-bugging of the PHP web pages. All was well in the world until the hard disk on the server decided to retire. So two weeks ago I replaced the HDD and decided it was time to upate everything to the latest versions - FreeBSD 6.2, PHP 5.2.1, Apache 2.2 -isn't it suprising how quickly one forgets the configuration changes made in order to get it all talking? So after two weeks everything is up and running - last thing to load is the PHP development side - i.e. Zend Platform. I see from their web site that Platform V3 is released, but not for FreeBSD - so I downloaded V2.2.3 and tried to install. After lots of frustration I then discovered that this version of Platform does not support PHP 5.2.1 ("Aaaaggghhh") I guess the easiest solution is to downgrade the PHP install to 5.1 - so here's the questions 1) How do I downgrade to PHP 5.1? 2) How do I keep the rest of my ports up to date without updating PHP 5? cheers Roy -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Advice-needed---how-did-I-get-into-this-mess--tf3239449.html#a9004239 Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
