Ok I got this one worked out:
Officially I want to thank Kevin Oberman for his offline help too :-)
Basically I ran:
cd /usr/ports/*/php5-*
make deinstall
make install clean
---------------php5 sorted out!
Then:
cd /usr/ports/www/apache22
make deinstall
make install clean - came up with errors so here's the next step:
cat Makefile | more
- check the library dependencies
cd /usr/ports/*/{each lib depend}
make deinstall
make install clean
cd /usr/ports/www/apache22
make install clean
Then ran:
portmanager -u -l -y -p
and now the only errornous ports I have are these:
skipping squid-2.7.7 /www/squid marked IGNORE reason: failed during make
skipping libltdl-2.2.6a /devel/libltdl22 marked IGNORE reason: port
marked IGNORE
skipping gtk-2.16.6 /x11-toolkits/gtk20 marked IGNORE reason: performed
(6) emergancy restore
skipping oss-4.2.b2000 /audio/oss until dependency gtk-2.24.6 updated
skipping zabbix-1.6.6,1 /net-mgmt/zabbix marked IGNORE reason: failed
during make
skipping mutt-1.4.2.3_3 /mail/mutt marked IGNORE reason: failed during make
Few!!! :-D all fine and installed - now to fix the rest.
Thanks everyone for all your help!!!!!!!!
I really appreciate that even though I felt like a total noobie but hey
this is the first time I've ever updated/upgraded a FreeBSD system. My
nerves were a bit on edge as there are many ports installed and I was
quite worried that I was gona loose the installed config files as linux
is quite prone to doing.
Anyway, with everyone's patience and effort everything went more or less
smoothly and was in fact quite painless and quick :-)
Best Regards to all.
