freebsd does not recognise that php was installed via ports
- by Alistair Prestidge
I have php 5.2.12 installed on FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE. It was installed from ports and I am trying to upgrade it to 5.3.2.
However for some reason my system is not recognising that php was installed via ports. When I run "pkg_version" the list does not include php it does however include all the extensions that I have installed.
I have even tried to do "make deinstall" on "/usr/ports/lang/php5" it told me that the port had been deinstalled but php still appears to be working correctly i.e "php -v" works
any ideas on how this port has become de attached from the ports system? and how I can get the ports system to recognise that it installed php?
