Yup. This would also tell you anything that required mod_php4 as well as the stuff that required apache directly. > So then I to pkg_info -R on mod_php...it returns blank information: That means there aren't any ports installed that require mod_php4. mod_php4 is quite likely to be at the end of a dependency chain. If there aren't any ports installed that depend on it, it's probably been manually installed because someone had some php pages to serve up. Take a look at /usr/local/www/data/ and other likely spots to see if you can find any .php files, and see if you can track back from those to whoever installed it.
