I gave up on the ports and did it by hand. In the end I found it just as simple, but I did have some false starts :) Once you know how it's done it's fairly simple. The APXS mechanism allows you to add PHP and mod_perl as shared objects. So you can compile them an add them to a precompiled apache installation. THis is great as you don't have to recompile apache. Taking it step by step also allow you to work out where you've gone wrong. So... Get all the sources, and exract them to a commmon directory. Personaly I put soft links to the source directories. I did have some scripts to automate the extraction, compilation and installation. But I can't find them, so I'll tell you how to do it from some script fragments I've just found lying around... First READ THE DOCUMENTATION! Doing it by the seat of your pants is a good way to loose a couple of days. Believe me I know. Assuming you have read the docs, here is how you do it. Well, here is how I do it. You'll probably want to change a thing or two. now, configure and build Apache.... cd some_dir/apache ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local \ --bindir=/usr/local/bin \ --sbindir=/usr/local/sbin \ --libexecdir=/usr/local/libexec \ --mandir=/usr/local/man \ --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/apache \ --includedir=/usr/local/include/apache \ --datadir=/usr/local/share/apache \ --htdocsdir=/usr/local/share/apache/htdocs \ --iconsdir=/usr/local/share/apache/icons \ --cgidir=/usr/local/share/apache/cgi-bin \ --suexec=/usr/local/share/apache/suexec --localstatedir=/var \ --runtimedir=/var/run \ --logfiledir=/var/log \ --proxycachedir=/var/spool/apache \ --enable-module=all \ --enable-shared=all \ --server-uid=httpd \ --server-gid=httpd make make install That's it. It's installed. So fire it up and play with it. When you are finished, stop apache. Now, to install PHP3... cd some_dir/php ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local \ --with-system-regex \ --with-apache=/usr1/builds/apache \ --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc/apache \ --disable-debug \ --disable-short-tags \ --enable-track-vars \ --enable-safe-mode \ --without-gd \ --with-mysql \ --with-apxs make make install And PHP4 cd ./php4 ./configure \ --enable-versioning \ --prefix=/usr/local \ --with-system-regex \ --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc/apache \ --disable-debug \ --disable-short-tags \ --enable-track-vars \ --enable-safe-mode \ --without-gd \ --with-mysql \ --with-apxs Now add perl cd some_dir/mod_perl perl Makefile.PL \ USE_APXS=1 \ WITH_APXS=/path/to/bin/apxs \ EVERYTHING=1 make make install Configure it all. Start Apache....
