It seems that php5-extensions isn't installing properly.

I had to install a new server and was surprised the extensions never
loaded. However I knew from other installations that for example the gd
extension should be in extensions.ini - I looked in there and it was
absent. So what I had to do is to search for it. Before I did that, I
had to run locate.updatedb as root. This showed gd.so to be in
/usr/local/ports/graphics/php5-gd/work/php-5.3.3/ext/gd/modules/gd.so

I copied that into /usr/local/lib/php/20090626/ and edited
/usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini with a line of extension=gd.so

I had to do this with everything selected in php5-extensions, and then
restart the webserver.

FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE #1: Wed Sep  8 10:21:27 BST 2010 and last csup for
ports was on the 23rd from cvsup.uk.freebsd.org
