NetBSD package searching ?
Hello
May I ask some basic questions about compiled packages. How do you find out what package a particular file is in ? Could I for instance go somewhere or run something to find out where, say, libphp5.so is ? Is a NetBSD binary package different in construction to a OpenBSD package ? Are they interchangeable ? If not do they, for a given name, contain exactly the same stuff or are they not even compatible in content, never mind construction ? As I have posted elsewhere I am floundering in php-obscurity-hell. My goal is to find what packages I need to add to install php for apache . |

Not sure if you are familiar with it yet, by a nice site to for NetBSD pkgsrc is http://pkgsrc.se/info.php
If you set and export the PKG_PATH, installing a package should install all required dependencies. From http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/using.html#using-pkg Quote:

Thank you for fast response - just what I need.
Hello
OK thank you. Very usefull info. My goal is to get ap2-php5-5.2.12nb1 installed after installing apache-2.2.14 . I have been mislead by the php website on what I am looking for. In fact i am after mod_php5.so which I have found to be in the ap2-php5 package but it fails to install on a dependency against the apache version, so I am now pursuing getting a newer ap2-php5. What is the difference between the nyftp.netbsd.org and the ftp.netbsd.org that you and netbsd website both mention ? I got apache off nyftp after reading a README somewhere which I cant now find. Thank you again. regards malcolm green UK PS I used to live in Netherlands at Monfort many years ago. Looking on Google Earth it seems they have built a housing estate on the fields which used to be in front of our house. Last edited by J65nko; 27th January 2010 at 11:25 PM.

There are a few organizations that host copies of the contents of the main netbsd.org ftp site.
Code:
$ host nyftp.netbsd.org nyftp.netbsd.org is an alias for netbsd3.cs.columbia.edu. netbsd3.cs.columbia.edu has address 128.59.23.63 You could delete the apache you already installed. Then follow the instructions that I quoted from the NetBSD site to install that ap22-php5 package. It probably will install the proper apache22 too You could use ftp://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/pa...0.1_2009Q4/All as your PKG_PATH. Or find a mirror in the UK

Thank you Oko and J65nko . Your advice was very helpfull. I added package ap22-php5 and after a little configuration I have php working fine. This is all my fault - I failed to remember the rules of alphabetic order which result in ap2-php5 getting placed miles away from ap22-php5 in the ftp list for All such that I never found it first time.
My current issue is to discover how file httpd-ssl.conf should be configured. |
