Hi Paul, You posted your reply (only) to me personally. I'm CC'ing this reply back to the -questions list, since there might be people there who can help you better than I.

PHP can depend on a _lot_ of different libraries/includes, and the various ports don't always seem to be 100% consistent. If it can't find msql.h, then the include path should probably extended to include /usr/local/Hughes/include. This is trivial to do if you're compiling from scratch, but can be a bit of a pain if using the port. (Those more experienced with the ports tree might correct me at this point.) > I have tried several versions of the apache with php from the ports all with > similar results.

I'd suggest the following: - Create yourself a hierarchy where you can compile things from the distribution, say /usr/local/src - Extract the apache and PHP source into subdirectories of this hierarchy. - Read carefully the INSTALL and README files of both packages. It might take a _little_ more than typing "make install", but they're not really that hard to configure and compile. -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
