When it has been this long, you might want to completely delete and

It's the 11 step process and please read the relevant example in its
entirety to make sure you don't waste too much time. If your system
has a very large number of ports installed, consider using the -P
option to use packages when they are available.
I do see some ports that might benefit from CPU specific
optimizations. If you feel that these are important, re-install these
after you finish the basic re-installation.
I discovered in the UPDATING file that it claims the same thing:
20100409:
AFFECTS: users of lang/php5
AUTHOR: a...@freebsd.org
As of PHP 5.3, a few extensions were removed from or included into
the core
PHP5 package. Follow the steps below to update your installation.
1) Delete the following packages (if installed):
- php5-dbase
- php5-ncurses
- php5-pcre
- php5-spl
- php5-ming
- php5-mhash
2) Rebuild lang/php5 and all ports that depend on it.
The only problem is how to go about it?
I mean I have quite a few web based monitoring apps (cacti, zabbix,
munin, etc) which all depend on PHP5 + apache22 so am not really sure if
running:
make deinstall on each port is wise.... especially since I don't want
the config files do be deleted (even though backed up) or backend
database information to be get lost either.
