have spent the day trying to upgrade my php on my freebsd box from php4 to
php5 (in between apparently seeking attention on nz.politics
I have trolled c.u.b.freebsd looking for help, but they are all asleep or
drunk or afk (except for matthew who is busy in nz.general
problem:
php4 was installed perfectly well and everything rendered
pkg_add -r php5 installs but nothing renders
what am I missing?
Ive also tried pkg_add -r php5-cgi to no avail
TIA

Oh, it was you. I wondered what the odds were of the same subject popping
up in both groups. Didn't look at the author

Are you wanting to run 4 and 5 in parallel? If not, use portupgrade to
upgrade. You can specify a package to use to upgrade across trees of an
application, using the -o switch. ie: portupgrade php4 -o php5
Check which php4 packages are installed with pkg_info and then upgrade
them individually. Not sure if that will work, but it should. Use -P
with portupgrade to try for packages if they exist.
