There wasn't a apache13-modperl, so mod_perl didn't conflict with an existing port like mod_php would conflict with apache13-php3. > My normal config for web servers is mod_perl, modssl, php3, jserv.

This can be done with the apache13-php3, apache-jserv and mod_perl ports. > I did not know of any problems with the shared php3 apache module (php > suggests this type of install), and it's been running fine like this on > my servers for a few weeks now.

I'd prefer to strip down apache13-php3 to mod_php eventually someday. (I hope this is possible at all. Some PHP extensions must be statically linked. But this can be tested of course.) But let's see if someone else joins the discussion before I start shooting around... ;-) Regards Dirk -- Dirk Froemberg FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
