Hello - This is my first post on this list.

Welcome.

I have a powerpc G4. I am trying to install Apache2 MySQL5 and PHP5 using MacPorts. I know this should be more simple than I am making it.

I started with a clean disk, fresh new system install. I installed MacPorts, then Apache 2, then MySQL. The installs seemed flawless.

I have been struggling with PHP5 for several days now. I did a port clean php5 I also performed port clean --all vile All seemed successful. I tried again port install php5 +apache2 +mysql5

and received this message.

Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/apache2/conf/extras-conf/mod_php.conf already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port php5. Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

You're close. All you need to do is repeat that last step with the "force" option. port -f install php5 +apache2 +mysql5 Not sure how mod_php.conf isn't claimed by a port, but no matter. Unless you have made any changes to it, it's safe to overwrite it. Good luck. -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/ <paulbeard@gmail.com/paulbeard@mac.com>
