Hmmm... well, the structure of the php4 ports parallels the structure
of the php5 ports, so yes you are correct that you shouldn't have all
of the packages installed simultaneously. If you try and install that
combination with an up to date ports tree it will complain:
% cd /usr/ports/lang/php4
% make -V CONFLICTS
php4-cli-4* mod_php4-4* php4-cgi-4* php5-5* php5-cli-5* mod_php5-5* php=
5-cgi-5*
Unless you've been deliberately ignoring warnings, the only way you
can end up with that sort of situation is by updating a system from
before the CONFLICTS mechanism was introduced. Since the whole
CONFLICTS thing is about not installing ports that all lay claim to
various files, the symptom you see of PHP causing apache to segfault
could well be a consequence. Another way in which you can get into
trouble is to install a php *package* from the FTP sites: the package
will have been compiled against the plain non-ssl version of apache,
and that is significantly different internally to the mod_ssl version
you're using. So long as you compile the php stuff yourself,
everything should work OK with whatever version of apache you choose.
I suggest that you deinstall all PHP related ports (anything with php
or pecl in the name) and start again from scratch just installing the
minimum that you need. With the new ports framework it's very easy to
add extension modules, should you find that you need to.
Cheers,
Matthew
