I might have missed something somewhere, but following your steps didn’t fully enable php.
I had to add the line

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Then it works fine!

If there is another way it should have been done, can you notify me?
Thanks

For those who need to compile in, for example, soap, do the following:

Download php5:
sudo port fetch php5

Edit the config file:
sudo vi `port dir php`/Portfile

In the configure.args area add in a line that looks like this “–enable-soap \” before the last line.

Compile from source/ install as normal:
sudo port -s install php5 +mysql5 +apache2 +pear +tidy # etc

you can type the following to see a list of the variants that can be compiled/installed with php5:
port variants php5

@randy:

I don’t think that I had to change/set that manually.

If you do need to do it manually, have a look at your Apache config (in my case /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf) and add the following line:

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

In this case I presume that your libphp5.so is in the modules dir (/opt/local/apache2/modules/).

I hope this helps!

apache is not configured with the php anywhere… where/how should I glue in the libphp5.so?
