Hi all, TO this point, I have been installing everything from source. Starting with the new servers, which I am working on now, I would like to do as much as possible from ports. I have mysql installed correctly. I need now to install PHP and Apache. The source type install would require to run ./configure with a few options, then back to the PHP source dir, run ./configure with a few options, make, make install, then back to the apache dir, re ./configure, make, make install, etc etc. Since ports have patches and some Makefile options set, is it permissable to go to the Apache or PHP port dir, run the make, then rerun ./configure so as to emulate the steps above? Eventually, When it becomes time to comile apache, I will need to add the FrontPage patch as well. All this considered, woould I be better to keep installing all from source, or still try to stick to the ports method? -Grant
