From the "3-D" dos-style window that appears during php4 and
mod_php4, both have mysql as defalt extensions. (postgresql7
is not a default, so I added it.)
I'd like to have at least a few opensrc BBS/message board
suites available for FBSD. phpbb and phorum are two I've
tried. After a week of mis-tries (last May) I finally
got phpbb-2.0.4 working. phpbb died inexplicably when I
upgraded a week ago. The trouble with phorum is that my
browser display goes white after only the first two or three
installation steps.
Can you send me a tarball of your port off-list?
