Hi Peter,
Thanks much for the hint about "short tags" and replacing "<?" with
"<?php" in conf.php.
I did that change and now it works! :-)
Background-info: It seems like conf.php is the only php-file in the
web-directory of nfsen that had "<?" - all others have "<?php", so
there's no problem with short tags disabled for these files - only for
conf.php.
The second point, maybe this is a FreeBSD specific issue, is that
changing the "short_open_tag" setting to "On" in php.ini isn't
sufficient. I also had to restart my apache server in order for the
change in php.ini to take effect. I did numerous tests and never saw
any change whether short tags was on or off. Only when the webserver
is restarted the changes to php.ini (/usr/local/etc/php.ini) take
effect.
So to summarize here's what I did to make nfsen work under FreeBSD -
maybe the following receipe will help others too:
o) Install apache (/usr/ports/www/apache22)
o) Install php (/usr/ports/lang/php5)
During make configure select "Build Apache module" so that an apache
module is generated during php-build
During build of php the necessary statement about getting php5-support
into apache is automagically inserted in httpd.conf
o) Insert the following two lines in httpd.conf:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
so that .php-sources are interpreted by apache
o) In your webroot-directory: set a softlink (ln -s ...) to where the
nfsen php-files are installed ("nfsen web directory")
o) Make sure PHP understands "short tags":
Variant a:
"short_open_tag = On" in /usr/local/etc/php.ini and - important -
restart your web server
or
Variant b:
edit /usr/local/www/nfsen/conf.php
and change the first line from "<?" to "<?php"
(all other .php-files of nfsen seem to use "<?php" anyway)
Thanks to all, esp. to Peter Haag for getting me on the right track
with this problem!
