NOTE: These instructions will setup and install the PHP port, both the apache module and the command line interface.

cd /usr/ports/textproc/libxml2

make clean

make rmconfig

make

[chose default options]

make deinstall

make install

make clean

NOTE: using this port will install both the CLI as well as the apache module. If you are not going to use the CLI, then use /usr/ports/www/mod_php5.

cd /usr/ports/lang/php5

make clean

make rmconfig

Adjust Makefile.ext to work with mysql5 via the BROKEN_WITH_MYSQL option.

You can now apply any patches to PHP that may be necessary. I am adding the upload statistics patch found at http://pdoru.from.ro/.

• First we need to patch PHP
• <to be written>
• Next we need to install the extension
• cd upload_progress_meter
• I prefer the patch to not delete the upload statistics file after the upload is complete. This allows me to check the size of the uploaded file against the expected size, and delete the file if it is not complete. For behaviour, search for the term 'UNLINK' within upload_progress_meter.c, and comment out that line.
• phpize
• NOTE: I had to search and remove the option '--no-verify' in the file configure script.
• ./configure
• make
• make install
• edit /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini, and add 'extension=upload_progress_meter.so'
• after install, be sure to restart apache, then check /var/log/httpd-error.log for startup errors.
• edit /usr/local/etc/php.ini, add the following lines:
  • upload_progress_meter.store_method = "file"
  • upload_progress_meter.file = 1
  • upload_progress_meter.file.filename_template = "/tmp/upload_stats/upl_%s.txt"
• mkdir /tmp/upload_stats
• chmod [apache_user]:[apache_group] /tmp/upload_stats

You may wish to adjust your vim syntax file to handle .phps files in the same way as .php files:

/usr/local/share/vim/vim62/filetype.vim
