php/apache/ssl core dumps

Hi all, I’m trying to get Apache to work with both ssl and php. However, when ssl apache and php are installed and the php module is set to be loaded into apache, apache core dumps (11). I’m using the latest ports tree. Also I’ve tried any number of combinations of mod_php, php-extensions,

Re: tetex, latex, dvips

A tex live-cd? I wonder why this should be preferable to a port. Anyway what's wrong with the latex port. Is this port still maintained, I've read that tetex will be the standard tex port in future. But how to go the standard latex, xdvi, dvips way without dvips? Finally what about latex3e if the
