While most of those responding here have far more experience than me, I do use PHP to a large extent to manage my FreeBSD servers. Partly because most of my servers already have PHP installed on them. For the rest where it is not required like Database/VOIP servers, I just use the base PHP...

If you mount the iso, you can find the default script file at usr/libexec/bsdinstall/auto . It's a shell script so modifying it should not be a problem.

Yes, you will need the connector cable/unit for remote access.

I have not used the model, but should be good enough. As a side note, remember that the connector cable are sold separately. You need to connect the video mouse and keyboard of the server to the connector cable set, which then gets attached to the IP/KVM switch through a cat5 (at least it looks...

Yes, that's what the IP KVM are for. IP KVM / and or IPMI will in most cases work on any OS installed on the server, though the viewer might be Windows only. I would suggest going in for an external multi port IP/KVM as you would get the benefit of single viewer for all your servers. Raritan /...

If you want to replace the p5-Mail-SPF-Query dependency with p5-Mail-SPF in the Makefile of the maia port. Somewhere down in the Makefile, you would have .if defined(WITH_SPFQUERY) RUN_DEPENDS+= ${SITE_PERL}/Mail/SPF/Query.pm:${PORTSDIR}/mail/p5-Mail-SPF-Query .endif replace it with .if...

From the SMF Forums, it seems that PHP is not configured with Mysql correctly. The TestDB page should only contain "phpinfo();" and nothing else to start with. If you open the testDB.php page on your browser, you should see a section on Mysql if you have configured PHP with Mysql correctly...

Ajax-IM seems to to require 5.2+ according to it's installation page http://ajaxim.com/installation/

Port freeze should be over now as 7.3 has been released ... ?

anybody has any further updates...? [update] It seems that Alex is waiting for port freeze to end http://groups.google.com/group/muc.lists.freebsd.ports/browse_thread/thread/5e1def1a388ea835/eddb4d09cd4e483e#eddb4d09cd4e483e...

It seems that we should have a 5.3.2 release in March. The already have 5.3.2RC3 currently.

You should not be required to compile Apache for upgrading PHP. Is your original installation done through ports, and the current one through source code compile? In that case, you might also look at the possibility of binaries for the new version being installed at a different place.

Zend is anyway not releasing any more versions for FreeBSD. There is a link to the Zend forum in this thread. As for separate ports, Alex (PHP port maintainer) has clearly said that he won't be maintaining two different ports of PHP. So unless someone forks a new port, it would be a one way...

It should come out with 5.3.2 release. See this mail by the maintainer: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=216126+0+archive/2010/freebsd-ports/20100124.freebsd-ports

Tried it on my test server successfully, but would still wait for the official port version for my production boxes.

Wouldn't using fetch rather than wget be better? Would not require any extra ports. fetch http://www.alexdupre.com/php53.diff mv php53.diff ~/ cd /usr/ports patch -p0 -E < ~/php53.diff

Can anybody confirm if php port for 8.0 comes with 5.3 version?

Does this apply to the base OS only or also to the ports?

I hope someone takes up the port in the interim while the original maintainer is busy.

I just received an answer from Alex (maintainer of PHP port) that he would be releasing the 5.3.x port without Zend optimizer, with 8.0 release.
