Any *nix/freebsd people about? - GoFuckYourself.com

Quick question....

I'm playing about with an old box I've got freebsd installed on. I upgraded php to 5.01 to see how it ran and it's fine if it would run all the stuff made for php4 which unfortunately it won't.

Now...upgrading I can manage. On freebsd how do I remove php5 to downgrade it again? I can reformat but that'd be a huge pain in the ass and it has to be easier just to whip 5 out. Will simply deleteing a few files and/or directories do it?

Google search has been no help so I thought it worth a try asking here

did you install it with the package tool or just compile it from a source tree

Compiled it but not to worry. Got it. Simply needed to remove it from apache and make sure only php4 was active so more or less working now. Just a few changes to get php.ini back the way it should be

If you installed it from ports the easiest way would be...

cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
make deinstall
