I made the test on other servers that also use mod_php4, and it seems that making the port with the standard "make install" does use /usr/local/etc . For my first tests, the difference was that I compiled the port manually ( ie cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php4/work/phpxxx && ./configure && make && make install ) as I needeed a specific ./configure line. Some interesting lines from /usr/ports/www/mod_php4/Makefile : post-install: .if !defined(STANDALONE) @${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/php.ini-dist ${PREFIX}/etc .else @${MKDIR} ${PREFIX}/etc/php.standalone @${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/php.ini-dist ${PREFIX}/etc/php.standalone .endif ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul - Zenith Tech Inc" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <phpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 2:49 PM Subject: [phpa] Re: phpa on FreeBSD > > Mine is in /usr/local/lib so I guess thats the standard place PHP uses. > Alot of FreeBSD ports use different locations, more suited to fbsd, so I > guess the mod_php4 is one of them > > Paul > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jamie Burns" <jamie.burns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <phpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 1:45 PM > Subject: [phpa] Re: phpa on FreeBSD > > > > > > out of interest, i installed using the mod_php4 port on a box and it does > > use /usr/local/etc which is strange (in fact i only use /usr/local/etc as > i > > dont see it has any place in /usr/local/lib!). > > > > i guess the rule of thumb is to check where php is looking for its php.ini > > file by issuing a phpinfo() command. it should tell you at the top of the > > resulting page. > > > > j. > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > www.php-accelerator.co.uk Home of the free PHP Accelerator > > To post, send email to phpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe, email phpa-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with subject unsubscribe > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.php-accelerator.co.uk Home of the free PHP Accelerator To post, send email to phpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe, email phpa-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with subject unsubscribe
