<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">Thanks for the super -prompt and -useful response. Didn't know about variants. I ended up with "+apache" and second-guessing the instructions emitted to work with the Apache that was already on Panther, and this seems to have gone swimmingly. Having achieved comfort with variants, I threw in some more: "+mysql5 +sqlite +pear". We'll see what I get out of "+mysql5" in a few hundred years when my glacial development server finishes building all that I've thrown at it. I suspect I probably should have built mysql5 with its own set of variants (I would have thought "server" was implicit but it appears not to be), but maybe it will all work out. Good thing I am not in a hurry or I'd have to actually know what I am doing before trying it. :-)<DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Cochin; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV style="text-align: right;"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: right; ">— Pete Gontier <<A href="http://www.pete.gontier.org/">http://www.pete.gontier.org/</A>> </SPAN></DIV><DIV style="text-align: right;"><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Jun 11, 2007, at 9:27 AM, <A href="mailto:markd@macports.org">markd@macports.org</A> wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Hi Pete,</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">There are some problems with the user messages in the<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>php5 port.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>It</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">occurrs when you specify neither the apache nor the apache2 variant.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>This</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">is a perfectly legitimate use of php, but did you intend to install it</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">without Apache support?</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">I attached a patch to the php5 port for the maintainer to evaluate that I</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">think straightens out the messages.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>If you did intend to install Apache</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">support, you must reinstall the port and specify a variant.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>Either</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">+apache or +apache2.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>And until the user message fixes get applied to the</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">port, here are instructions you may use:<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="http://homepage.mac.com/duling/halfdozen/NeDi-Howto.html#d0e134">http://homepage.mac.com/duling/halfdozen/NeDi-Howto.html#d0e134</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Mark</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Pete Gontier <<A href="mailto:pete@gontier.org">pete@gontier.org</A>> on Monday, June 11, 2007 at 8:57 AM -0800</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">I've just installed PHP5 on a Panther box.
