A good source of information when it comes to the several options for managing ports is the
ports(7) manual page. Although I do agree with
scottro up there I also think that some of the other posters could be a little more lenient too.
Not everyone has English as their native language and sometimes people don't pick things up in the way you intended them. That's something to keep into consideration as well on support forums, in my opinion of course.
So having that out of the way...
defiant1970 When you have installed a port and want to change its configuration you can do so using the
# make config
command, also see that manual page I mentioned earlier. So the good news is that you can indeed change stuff. The bad news though is that you will have to re-install the port for the changes to get into effect.
I'd definitely advise you to look into
ports-mgmt/portmaster, this can make your life a whole lot easier. It sure beats using the
make command every time, and it can help you sort the ports out (dependencies and such).
I did skip through that video (was curious) and as I suspected: the video is outdated. As some of the others also mentioned; the
Apache option is no longer available in
lang/php55, so for PHP support to work within Apache you also need to install
www/mod_php55. So use either of these commands:
# make -C /usr/ports/www/mod_php55 install clean
or install and use the
portmaster command I mentioned earlier:
# portmaster www/mod_php55
.
Hope this gives you some ideas.
