I'm a newbie with a problem. I tried to install phpmyadmin from the ports. When I ran the make install clean for the first time I got a screen where I could make a couple of choices. I chose to install with something called "mysqli". The make install process stopped and I got this message:
anderssons1# make install clean
You may use the following additional build option:
WITH_SUPHP=yes Install appropriately for use with the www/suphp port [default: no]
Unknown extension mysqli. *** Error code 1
That can only happen if you try and install mysqli with PHP4 --- the mysqli module (which stands for 'MySQL Improved') is a PHP5 only thing. As the OPTIONS dialog does tell you.
You need to run:
make config
to redo the OPTIONS stuff. See the ports(7) man page for details.
Stop in /usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin.
I tried to run the make install clean again to be able to not select the "mysqli" but I only get the same message again. I tried to find information on how to "reset" the install but did not succeed. I have FreeBSD 5.3.
Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.
That would be me. In general, the port Maintainer is your first point of contact if you're having difficulty with a port. You can find out the Maintainer's e-mail address by:
make -V MAINTAINER
from the port directory, or most of the time, just by reading the Makefile. Failing that, ask on [EMAIL PROTECTED] or even on this list.
Cheers,
Matthew
