The problem is not so much installing the PHP code in two different locations, which you can do quite simply by playing with the PREFIX settings, but trying to register the same thing two times in the package DB. Hmmm... The only way I can see to deal with this is to use a separate package database for the second installation. Something like: setenv PREFIX /some/where/else setenv PKG_DBDIR /var/db/pkg-some-where-else mkdir -p /var/db/pkg-some-where-else cd /usr/ports/databases/phpMyAdmin make install Note: this install will find and use all of the dependencies installed to support the first instance of phpMyAdmin. If you're doing multiple installs to support using phpMyAdmin in a jail then there are better methods. Probably the most conceptually simple method is to null-mount /usr/ports under your jail directory, then log into the jail and work inside it. However that does require having a 'fat' jail with a complete system environment inside it. This is the functionality that DESTDIR was invented to support (ie. installing in a location that is different to the way the location will appear in use) -- unfortunately DESTDIR support is being reworked and isn't fully available yet.
