Hi everybody, go easy at me as i'm am at my first attempt on using darwin ports. ;-) i'm trying to install php5 using darwinports and keeping the regular apache installation that comes with os x 10.3 server. I'm doing this installation in a fresh installation of 10.3 server (all updates) and a fresh installation of darwin ports. In order to use the regular apache i'm partly using some suggestion i found at this address: "http://www.netmusician.org/wiki/index.php/ Build_server_with_DarwinPorts" this is the process i go through: sudo -s # port -v install php5 +apache When the installation process is finished i (sort of) follow the advice to enable php in apache the difference is that i use the apxs that comes with the os x apache installation # cd /opt/local/libexec/apache/ # apxs -a -e -n "php5" libphp5.so then i create a symbolic link to libphp5.so # ln -s /opt/local/libexec/apache/libphp5.so /usr/libexec/httpd/ libphp5.so When i ran a configtest this is what i get: # apachectl configtest Processing config directory: /etc/httpd/sites/*.conf Processing config file: /etc/httpd/sites/virtual_host_global.conf Syntax OK dyld: /usr/sbin/httpd Undefined symbols: _checkpw /usr/sbin/apachectl: line 193: 18723 Trace/BPT trap $HTTPD -t I have attempted a few options but the result was identical: installing apache 1.3.x with darwin ports before installing php5 non installing apache 1.3.x (or as the case was uninstalling it) before installing php5 I have also attempted to make a few modification to the Portfile which was very instructive to the working of portfiles but didn't help solve my problem does anybody have suggestions (or even better solutions ;-)? Maybe i'm missing something very basic... anyway. thank you. Marco
