Problem installing php5

[Pete Gontier]

This sounds like the problem I saw a few days ago. MacPorts builds  
php5 against Apple's Apache rather than MacPorts' Apache. This is a  
bug in the php5 package. On Jun 12, 2007, at 4:21 PM, Ryan Schmidt

The php5 you have installed now will probably work fine with Apple's  
Apache -- at least it works fine for me. This means you need to edit / 
etc/httpd/httpd.conf rather than whatever file you edited in order to  
tell Apache to load php5.
