Greetings,
I installed phpBB from the ports on my 4.7 box. Went fine.
Had my phpBB bulletin boards hacked, even after applying
all the patches from phpbb.com. My current version of
phpBB is 2.0.0_1. All they suggested was install the new
version of phpBB and make sure I look for patches.
So... Since I installed phpBB from the ports, how do I remove
the program? I want to download phpBB from their site and
install it clean.
thanks for any help,

You can find the exact name of the package using pkg_info and then pkg_delete
it using a command similar to this: #pkg_delete `pkg_info | grep phpBB | awk
{'print $1'}` Please note that this will delete any package with phpBB in the
name or title or description, so use it with caution.
What you'll most likely find is that pkg_de;ete won't be able to delete the
entire port, since it can only delete things it knows about. It's not going
to be able to delete patched binaries, or the directories that those binaries
are residing in. The other thing it won't be able to delete is the mysql
databases that phpBB uses. All of these things will have to be hunted down by
hand. pkg_delete will however complain about files and directories you can't
delete, so that will at least give you a starting point to work from.
Hope this helps,
