did you follow the procedure in ports/UPDATING about autotools?
        I followed the suggestion from Mike Powell and that resolved the

you probably won't need imap support in php, so you could just
deselect this in make config.

        Here is what message is posted to the top of
        www.thought.org/blog/ where I cp'd -rp the whole of wordpress
        files.

        Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension
        which is required by WordPress.o

        wHen i looked at the directory with firefox3
        file:///usr/local/www/wordpress, there was a similar complain.
        I did not believe it--because I *do* have mysql installed.
        Moreover, I set up a "wordpress" database and wordpress_user,
        and all the rest of it.

        So far I am heading into the third day of this: trying to get
        the wordpress port working on my site. (It strikes me   as more
        than a bit ironic that one of the things in the wp description
        is that it looks SO simple.  Not my experience!)

        Question:: which MySQL should I have installed to get the port
        working?  I am been debugging this stuff bit-by-bit.  So far,
        I've upgraded the entire 700 ports since last October.  I have
        kept ``ethic'' to be a server: DNS, mail, and web.  Be great to
        host wordpress working so any help will be v much appreciated!

its the php mysql extension it's moaning about, not the mysql server.

what do you get from pkg_version -Iv | grep php5

i wouldn't normally do it like this, but in your case i'd be tempted to

cd /usr/ports/databases/php5-mysql
make install clean

cross fingers
restart apache
