You must be kidding me. FreeBSD 4.x and PHP 4.x were made for each other. Installation is simplicity itself. Just go to your shell, type in:
cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 make install You'll be presented with a menu where you can check off the modules you want to install. I can send you a written guide if you want. That's the biggest advantage of FreeBSD - the ports system. I can take a absolutely blank box, put FreeBSD 4.4 on it, and have Apache 1.3.20+Mod_SSL+Mod_PHP4+Mod_Perl running on it with MySQL 3.23.42 and cURL 7.8.2 all working within 4 hours, and most of that is just waiting for packages to be downloaded or files copied over somewhere. - Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 8:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-INST] ANNOUNCE-PHP4.x not supported on FreeBSD platform Importance: High Greetings, After 12hrs. of attempting to configure>make>install PHP-4.0.4pl1 or php-4.0.6. on a FreeBSD 4.3 machine. I have concluded that it *is* not and *was* not intended to be used on this platform. This comes after reading any and all the documentation I could find, reading and subscribing to the install and gen groups. reading the majority of the news archive. Attempting to implement possible suggestions found there. I have used (as the last attempt) the following configure syntax (from config.nice): # Created by configure "./configure" \ "--with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs" \ "--enable-versioning" \ "--with-mysql=/usr/local/include/mysql" \ "--enable-track-vars" \ "--with-openssl=/usr/include/openssl" \ "--with-gettext" \ "--with-imap-ssl" \ "--with-imap" \ "--disable-posix" \ As you can see, I already have apache installed (openSSL version). Also have MySQL already installed and functioning. Also gettext installed and working. However, the *only* time configure completed was when I *didn't* use the =PATH to all but apache-apxs. Which led to the warning that if I wanted to have ssl support that I should install it first. :-\ So, I proceded to delete *all* the files in the php-4.0.x dir and untar another fresh copy re-configure, it puked which led to: can't find Open SSL <evp.h>. I have tried *many* other variations of the path statements. But all lead to the same message! The file in question *is* there; /usr/include/openssl/evp.h. So what kind of braindead configure script is this?! Sorry, but after struggling with it for this many hours, you might imagine my frustration. Thanks to *any* and *all* who might take the time to help.
