It involves relative paths to php functions such as file_exists() among other file access functions... Per the php.net site, the only suggestion is to update to later sources. Which didn't fit so well with ports :( php.net references: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19323 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19287 >How-To-Repeat: Run any php script that uses relative paths.. file_exists('./path/filename') where the file exists, will return that it doesn't. phpBB will find the error on almost anything except the forum homepage. I have about 10 different users running it.. That's where I discovered the problem. >Fix: I was able to download http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz and then: 1) WITH_APACHE2=yes make extract in the php4 port. (selecting the options I wanted) 2) untgz the STABLE-latest, and then with some minor cmdline, mv the changed files into the work tree. (as shown below) 3) WITH_APACHE2=yes make package (everything worked fine, even all patches) root# cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 root# WITH_APACHE2=yes make extract root# fetch http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz root# tar xzf php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz root# cd php4-STABLE-200210120300/ #note, the date changes every 3 hrs. root# cat >doit.sh #!/bin/sh ^D root# diff -r -q ../work/php-4.2.3/ . | grep ^Files | awk '{printf "mv %s %s\n",$4,$2}' >>doit.sh root# chmod u+x doit.sh root# ./doit.sh root# cd .. root# WITH_APACHE2=yes make package The resulting install seems to work fine and still fits well in pkg_* >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
