thank you for your respond - that's my plan b i'd like to know if i can exercise my plan a first: i already have installed apache22, php5 as package (pkg_add) without having them build through /usr/ports (i know how everyone likes ports around here). i want to see if it's possible to have a link between apache22 and php5 with using packages only (i.e. without /usr/ports) and since mod_php is mia for whatever reason(s) i want to see if fastcgi can be used and PHP-FPM isn't available in packages too (i'm start thinking packages sucks comparing to /usr/ports) basically my last resort (at least that i know of to try) is to go with spawn-fcgi. i dont have alot of requirements but i do need apache22 + php5 to talk to each others and i want to know if it can be done with pkg_add vs /usr/ports
