First and foremost, thanks for the reply.

Thanks for that. I do appreciate it.

I may have missed a week or two, but the only responses I've seen
personally have been "see /usr/ports/UPDATING", which I did. I'm
not
thrilled with the stock "RTFM" post, but I guess that's par for the
course.

I did that. That's pointed out in /usr/ports/UPDATING.
Unfortunately, it didn't automatically fix the issue for me.
****** thats because you are using the devel version of apache.
php4 & php5 are designed to auto update apache13 not apache22
you are on your own when you use devel apache22
Blow away apache22 and you can use the apache13 package for quick
install
then php5 port like said before. if you have previous working
apache13 httpd-config restore it to correct path after apache13
package install, then php5 port "make" will update it correctlly.

I was running 1.3 before my BSD upgrade to 6.1-STABLE. There were
security issues with 1.3 that were not resolved at the time of my
upgrade. And I assumed with the package changes to PHP5 in 6.1 that
going with an updated version of apache as well would be the best
method. If you're saying I should revert back to 1.3, should I also
revert to an earlier version of PHP5, or is the latest and greatest
still best compatible with apache13?
*** I know of no security issues in apache13 in 6.1 release. your
6.1 install will give you the correct port version of php5. The
package php5 is broken because it does not contain the apache module
by default as in previous freebsd releases. you do have to cvs the
php5 config files plus the base make control files. go with it.

********* warning side note: be sure to comment out proxy module
statements in both places in httpd-conf. this will stop your web
server from being used to attack other systems without your
knowledge. ************
