Having a pretty rough time getting php5 installed

[John Korchok]

Hi,

I'm not a MacPorts expert like many of the others on this list, but you'll
make your life easier and longer if you install an entire MAMP setup in
Macports rather than trying to tie it in bits and pieces with other software
installed from source. 

PHP installed with MacPorts expects to find Apache and MySQL in the MacPorts
locations. The +mysql5 parameter does prepare PHP for MySQL, but doesn't
tell it that your particular copy is installed somewhere else. It is
possible to do what you want, but you would probably spend more time getting
it to work than if you built PHP from source. 

Yes, an earlier version of Apache is already installed on your system, but
Macports will get you the current version. Most likely you only need to copy
over your httpd.conf with minor tweaks from your old installation to get a
Macports version of Apache 2 operating the same way. I've never tried
duplicating an old installation of MySQL to a MacPorts version, so I can't
help you there.

You're on to the correct way of setting up PHP with the features that you
want, using the +sqllite etc. parameters, but all those parameters will
install to or be looking for the MacPorts version in /opt/local, not any
earlier version you had installed elsewhere. 

Other more experienced hands might try copying your working installation to
another machine, but I'm sure if I did it I would waste a lot of time
getting it working. Installing and debugging locally, then shipping the
hardware is most time-efficient in my experience.
