Hi Darryl, Thursday, March 30, 2006, 6:04:05 PM, you has on mind: > greetings, > I have a freebsd 6.0-release box. I need to install php to use with > squirrelmail. When I go to /usr/ports/www and look for php4, I > see a lot of sub directories with names that aren't clear as to which > one installs php4. > So, anybody care to clarify this for me ? you most probably want to read a chapter in our Handbook located at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook. That documentation is a great thing :) also, for your information - the php4 core port persists in lang/php4 directory. > Also, I need to configure php with the following options: > --enable-track-vars > --enable-force-cgi-redirect > --with-gettext > --with-mysql > which file should I put those in before make, make install ? just type make config, see what options are configurable. if you need to configure any further things, you will have to edit Makefile and add these options to CONFIGURE_ARGS. For a side note, if you need php4 extensions, go for lang/php4-extensions port and type make config a then choose extensions you really need, do not use CONFIGURE_ARGS for this. > thanks, > Darryl -- Best Regards, Daniel Gerzo
