Stop in /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions

Hi,

I've installed *AMP on my FreeBSD 9 machine and now would like to extend PHP with support for Curl. OK, I'm stood in /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions and issue the following commands:

# make config
I select options I would like: Curl, Xml etc...

then
# make clean install

All looks good until I reach:

Code: 
===> Checking if lang/php5-extensions already installed
===> php5-extensions-1.6 is already installed
You may wish to ''make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ''make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you reall wish to overwrite the old port of lang/php5-extensions
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions.
*** Error code 1

You'rer thinking well, the message is there plain to see, so get on with it. If only things were that simple. Looking around at some posts, and stood in /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions I try:
# make FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1 install

Code: 
===> Installing for php5-extensions-1.6
===> php5-extensions-1.6 depends on file: /usr/local/include/php/main/php.h - found

...

found 

...

found all OK

===> Generating temporary packing list
===> Registering installation for php5-extensions-1.6

However in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/info.php

PHP: 
<?php 
phpinfo();
?>

Browse to info.php and PHP shows no information for Curl.

Help

No need to rebuild lang/php5-extensions all it does is install ftp/php5-curl as a dependency. So simply install that.

Thanks.

I have a fairly new FreeBSD 9 install. From http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html

Make sure /usr/ports is empty before you run csup for the first time! If you already have the Ports Collection present, obtained from another source, csup will not prune removed patch files.

Does any of this apply to me? I mean, I'm running # csup for the first time. And yes, I have the ports collection present - when I originally installed FreeBSD 9.

Hmm.... I just tried someting:

Stood in /usr/ports/ftp/php5-curl
then
# make install clean

Code: 
===> php5-curl-5.3.8 cannot install: doesn't work with PHP version : 52 (Doesn't support PHP 4 52).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/ftp/php5-curl

Do I need to update my ports tree?

Yes, PHP has been at 5.3 for quite some time now.

Thanks.

Now stood in /usr/ports I update my ports tree:
# portsnap update hence my ports tree is up-to-date.

If I # cd /usr/ports/lang/
# # ls
References to PHP are:

Code: 
php4
php4-extensions
php5
php5-extensions
php52
php52-extensions

It appears that PHP53 is not there?
 
[cmd=]rm -f /var/db/portsnap/tag && portsnap fetch extract[/cmd]

After that, you can start running [cmd=]portsnap update[/cmd].
 
From /usr/ports/UPDATING:

AFFECTS: users of lang/php5
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org

As of PHP 5.3, a few extensions were removed from or included into the core
PHP5 package. Follow the steps below to update your installation.

1) Delete the following packages (if installed):

- php5-dbase
- php5-ncurses
- php5-pcre
- php5-spl
- php5-ming
- php5-mhash

2) Rebuild lang/php5 and all ports that depend on it.

Thanks. Does that modify my original portsnap cmd somehow?
 
Thanks for all the help.

I got into a right pickle with dependencies, being unable to deinstall ports that are dependent on others etc... I'm not looking forward to updating ports as existing ones become out of date..

I went for the remove all option, make sure one's port tree is up-to-date and then go from there. I've now got a current *AMP stack on my server.

It ensures you have a totally new and fresh ports tree that is ready for subsequent updating.
