Well, if you installed those applications from ports you would
currently get apache 1.3.31, php 4.3.8 and mysql 4.0.20 (assuming
you chose the mysql40-server port and not 41-server or 50-server).

You can't choose specific versions of those applications, but I
don't really see why you would want to do that; you normally want
the latest that is maintained for FreeBSD.

Please do not top post.
