Introduction

The installation procedure used here relied on ports. Please install ports.

It worked on FreeBSD 8.1

Ports work

• Install Apache 2.2
  cd /usr/ports/www/apache22 && make install clean* Install PHP5 (5.3 worked. 5.2 failed!)
  cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 && make install clean* You may
  • Install the required modules individually
    for pkg in $(cat required_extensions);
    do
    dir=$(locate $pkg|head -n 1);
    cd $dir && make install clean;
    donewhere required_extensions can be generated from the ini list below and contains a string such as the one below per linephp5-mbstring
    php5-filter* Or install php5-extensions from ports and disable unneeded extensions.
