I updated via the ports collection php5-mbstring
to the latest version 5.2.9. Previously I had 5.2.8
Also updated php5 from 5.2.8 to 5.2.9
and php5-extensions from 1.2 to 1.3
installing php5-mbstring-5.2.9 installed it alongside
php5-mbstring-5.2.8: # pkg_info | grep mbstring
php5-mbstring-5.2.8 The mbstring shared extension for php
php5-mbstring-5.2.9 The mbstring shared extension for php
Then I deleted mbstring 5.2.8 (thinking I wouldn't need it any longer)
# pkg_delete php5-mbstring-5.2.8
But now it seems that my Drupal 6.9 continues to look for
php5-mbstring-5.2.8 (not looking at php5-mbstring-5.2.9)
How can I install php5-mbstring-5.2.8 again via the ports ??
cd /usr/ports/www/drupal6
make clean && make deinstall && make reinstall
There is no need to install the older version of php5-mbstring. In
fact, doing so might cause problems at some point.
Problem is that our drupal-6.9 was installed from a tar file, not
from freebsd ports and in some location different than where
FreeBSD drupal6 port installs it (i think FreeBSD's place is
/usr/local/www/drupal ?)
We had it unpacked in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/drupal.
If I install drupal6-10 from the ports, how will the affect things?
Of would it be safe to make a soft-link /usr/local/www/drupal ->
/usr/local/www/apache22/data/drupal before installing from ports?
Also since the first drupal (6.9) was not installed from ports, then
what is needed might be:
# cd /usr/ports/www/drupal6
# make install clean
is that correct?
Also, I do not understand well why a package can not handle a higher
version of php5-mbstring-5.2.9 instead of 5.2.9 since it is only a
security issue patch?
