FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, PHP 5, MySQL 4.1 (and ftpd)

[Can Berk Guder]

OK, both of my problems are now resolved:

1. I didn't know I needed to restart inetd. I don't know what I was  
thinking... =)
2. I used the ports collection to reinstall MySQL, PHP and all the  
PHP libraries I need. I thought it was gonna become a nightmare but  
it didn't. Only the MySQL compilation took quite a lot of time (since  
this server of mine is a really old one), but everything seems to be  
working right now.

Thanks... =)
