Hmmm… I need php5.6 because the webmaster of the sites (not me, I merely administrate them) is still running an old Drupal 6 that – IMHO – is not compatible with php7. What is php-fpm? Yes, I stumbled on several other mishaps while installing, notably PHP extensions being named php_XXX.so instead of XXX.so in the httpd.conf > That having been said, until recently, I was using apache2.4-devel with php56 > and apache2handler.

Yeah, I did add a script of auto-detection, but I remember someone saying this was not authorised in Macports. > However, I still use apache 2.4 and php 5.6 with apache2handler under FreeBSD… And so do I: the master I replicate is configured exactly this way :) Vincent
