Sunday's newbie questions

(Please CC me directly on the response, as I don't normally subscribe to
the list and try to find answers via searching the archives.)

Two quick questions I should know the answer to, but don't.

* When installing the PHP5 port, will it automatically disable and/or
uninstall the PHP4 that's already installed, or should I uninstall the
latter manually beforehand?

* My server runs portaudit (a helpful addition from the last guy who did
some work on it), but a simple make install on the PHP5 port spits back
a security error. What's the flag to make install around that?

Many thanks, and apologies for the vey basic questions,
Greg

Manually uninstall php4 first.

setenv DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes
(in bourne shells)

Then be sure to select the suhosin patch from the menu, as it plugs the
current exploit.

The presence of stale files in this directory can cause the
dreaded unpredictable results, and therefore it is highly
recommended that you delete them.
