Cannot load session extension.

[nitmd]

I'm having trouble getting phpMyAdmin installed. I mucked up my mysql/php install, and tried to uninstall everything (except apache) and start over. Now when I get to the phpMyAdmin installation, I keep getting the above error. I've not been able to figure out what is happening and why I can't get it functioning.

Makefile says:

.if !defined(WITHOUT_PHP_DEPENDS)
USE_PHP=        ctype mysql [B]session[/B] filter mbstring
.endif

So, (re)install www/php5-session, I guess. Repeat if errors are thrown about ctype, mysql, etc.

That fixed it, now it can't load the mysql extension. Working on that one.

And reinstalling php5-mysql now brings it up, with mcrypt and other errors, but at least it's up and I can work it from there. Thanks!

You can install many extensions at once with lang/php5-extensions, it should be much easier

If you want to pull in a few dozen unneeded ports, sure
