You will find that: make MYADMDIR=/usr/local/www/data-dist/phpMyAdmin install gives better results for this package. This will however run into the problem that the /usr/local/www/data-dist directory and contents will be deleted if you ever update your apache port. You're really meant to break the data -> data-dist link and create your own /usr/local/www/data directory if you are going to install your own website: cd /usr/local/www rm data mkdir data cd /usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin make MYADMDIR=/usr/local/www/data/phpMyAdmin install Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
