So I did an "cvsup /root/ports-supfile" and a "make > search=mod_php4" afterwards. But I can only see "mod_php4-4.3.6" now, > which does not look like an update to "mod_php4-4.3.8_2". You go wrong here. There doesn't exist a command 'make search=...' it should be 'make search name=mod_php4'. Because of this you have compiled (but not installed) all recursive ports. To fix this do: make clean from /usr/ports (this takes a while) The most recent for me is: mod_php4-4.3.4_7,1 If you run 'pkg_version | grep php' then you can see if the port is newer than the one you installed. A < means that this is the case. > Now my question is: How should/can I update mod_php4, if there is no update > available? First install portupgrade: # cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade/ # make install && make clean Then do: # rehash # portupgrade -fR mod_php4 The R also compiles all ports that php4 uses and the f force a recompile of ports that are of the current version. Its not allways required but I've had some trouble with php. This solved the problem for me. -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.
