Sorry,<br><br>I am sure this has been asked before but I couldn&#39;t find an answer on google.&nbsp; I currently had a php5 port that had the mysql4 variant installed.&nbsp; I want to add support for mysql5 instead so i tried upgrading with little luck.&nbsp; I installed mysql5 fine and then deactivated mysql4 with no problem.&nbsp; When I try to then install a new version of php5 using port install php5 +apache2 +mysql5 +pear I end up getting errors after waiting a very long time for things to compile.&nbsp; The typical error is:
<br><br>Error: Activating pcre 7.1_1 failed: Image error: Another version of this port (pcre @4.5_0) is already active.<br>or <br>Error: Deactivating expat 1.95.7_0 failed: Image error: expat @1.95.7_0 not installed as an image.
<br><br>but in place of expat when i tried to install the php5 directly it gave an error about pcre.&nbsp; I then tried to upgrade all my updated ports using port upgrade outdated and some were successful while others got similar errors as described above?&nbsp; What is causing this problem and how do I go about fixing it because of of right now my LAMP install is busted and I can&#39;t get anything accomplished until i resolve the php5 issue.&nbsp; Any information would be greatly appreciated and if I missed providing any important information please ask and I will gladly supply it.
<br><br>Thanks,<br>Evan<br>
