I am running 4.10 stable.

I upgraded to php5.0.3_1 by:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library

I get the same messages for the 12 modules that I updated.

In /usr/local/lib/php I have:

drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1536 Dec 20 13:58 20040412

Now much of php doesn't work. How do you fix this?

What did I do wrong to cause this to happen?

Rebuild all of your extensions ("portupgrade -f <port>"). The most recent update of the php5 port changed the extension directory.
This probably deserves an entry in UPDATING.


Also, any reason you don't use "portupgrade -a"?

I didn't want to update some things that I no longer use (thunderbird, eg). I've started running a web server on this machine and I don't care about x-windows things now. I'm not sure if my thinking is correct on this. It seemed a little less risky.

Everything on the machine should be kept up-to-date. If you don't plan on using using it, you should pkg_deinstall it ("less is more" when it comes to security). Just leaving old versions sitting around is a security nightmare.


Plus, running "portupgrade -a" is so much easier...

Should I run "portupgrade -f php5" before or after php5-extensions and/or php5-session, etc? Here's what portversion -v says:

...

Answered in another response by Matthew Fuller.

If it's just a problem with the extensions directory, can I change the pointer to point to the right directory? Do you know where that is?

The pointer is specified in /usr/local/etc/php.ini. Setting "extension_dir" to "/usr/local/lib/php/20040412/" should make php find the extensions again, but no guarantees on whether it will work -- there had to be a reason to bump the date. In any case, rebuilding your extensions is the long-term solution.
