Installing php5
I have tried to install the php5 as described in lab instructions.
#/usr/ports/lang/php5/make install clean
It gives me the error message during installation OR Some time my FreeBSD virtual machine Crashes during installation. I am using Virtual box.I have tried installing new FreeBSD with standard option. It crashes at first time. Any hint, suggestions to this problem would be really appreciated.
The error message i got is.. can't cd to /usr/ports/devel/autoconfig262/work/autoconfig-2.62:No such file or directory patch patch-autoconf.texi fail to apply cleanly.
Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf262.
Error code 1

Alternative
I have installed PHP5 with Pkg_add method
pkg_add -r php5
PHP configuration
A) Edit Apache configuration file for PHP Configuration.
Step1: Edit the httpd.conf file make Apache aware that PHP is installed.
vi usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf
Step2: Put the following code in httpd.conf, near the DirectoryIndex
<IfModule dir_module> DirectoryIndex index.php index.html </IfModule>
Step 3: Insert the the following lines towards the end of the file
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Step 4: Copy php.ini-recommended to php.ini
cp /usr/local/etc/php.ini-recommended /usr/local/etc/php.ini
B) Configure php.ini to save its sessions
Step1: Edit php.ini so PHP knows where to put its session files
vi usr/local/etc/php.ini
Step2: Uncomment the following line
session.save_path = "/tmp"
C)Testing PHP Configuration
Step1: It is Just displaying the file contents.I think its not running it. Means the command
elinks http://127.0.0.1/phpinfo.php
Just show me the following output
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
