In > fact, doing so might cause problems at some point. Problem is that our drupal-6.9 was installed from a tar file, not from freebsd ports and in some location different than where FreeBSD drupal6 port installs it (i think FreeBSD's place is /usr/local/www/drupal ?) We had it unpacked in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/drupal. If I install drupal6-10 from the ports, how will the affect things? Of would it be safe to make a soft-link /usr/local/www/drupal -> /usr/local/www/apache22/data/drupal before installing from ports? Also since the first drupal (6.9) was not installed from ports, then what is needed might be: # cd /usr/ports/www/drupal6 # make install clean is that correct? Also, I do not understand well why a package can not handle a higher version of php5-mbstring-5.2.9 instead of 5.2.9 since it is only a security issue patch?
