Hi List;

Next I installed PostgreSQL and pgFouine

However when I run pgfouine to generate a log report I get this error:

$ php ./pgfouine.php -file $PGDATA/pg_log/postgresql-31.log > rept.html

I'm fairly new to freeBSD, but a long time Linux biggot. I installed freeBSD7, then I installed PHP like this: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function preg_replace() in /usr/local/pgsql/pgfouine/include/reporting/geshi/geshi.php on line 474 preg_replace() I believe is a PHP built-in, anyone know how to correct this, or have thoughts on what I may be doing wrong. Maybe I've missed some sort of config step?

You need to install the PCRE module:

  # cd /usr/ports/devel/php5-pcre
  # make install

and similarly for all of the other PHP modules you will undoubtedly
find yourself needing.

A quicker way of doing this is
cd /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions
make config
then choose what extensions you need, and then
make install clean

Actually, even that is /far/ too much effort.  Now you can just install
the databases/pgfouine port, which by an intriguing coincidence was committed 
to the ports tree just last night.

        Cheers,
