want to run PHP 5 on Apache 2, not easy to do - should I just run apache 1.3?

[NotGiven]

I have tried to install mod_PHP5 on freebsd where I had installed apache 2.
It throws as error indicating mod_php5 needs apache 1.3.

I am a newbie, shoudl I just run Apache 1.3 rather than trying to run the
latest Apache?

No.

How did you install PHP? Presumably not from source. Try installing from
source, or if you want a binary get one compiled for apache2.

Make sure you're using the correct SAPI module. Apache 1.X and Apache
2.X use different ones.

What you want to do is update your ports. Then cd to
/usr/ports/lang/php5

Now just install the port: make install && make distclean

There are certain attributes that should be added to the
httpd.conf file after the installation. You might try using this
installation method to get a better idea of what to do.

make && make install > ~/php5-install.log && make distclean

Now you can just read the log file created to get a better
picture of what you have to do.

By the way, I personally run PHP5 with Apache2 and have no
problems.

Gerard - thanks. I've read alittle about a prefork MPM and others. SOme
things say not to use MPM, on freebsd - like me - you should run prefork.

How the heck do I make that happen? (Feeling like I'm in over my head)

I'll be quite honest and admit I know nothing about a 'prefork
MPM'.

I gave you the basic information you need to get PHP5 for Apache2
installed. If you need further information I would suggest you
contact the FreeBSD mailing list directly. I can supply you with
that information if you require it. I am a member there also.
