    Greetings,

    I'm currently exploring FreeBSD 4.10 in an effort to get the "Emerging
    Technologies Bandwidth Manager" (www.etinc.com) set up. I'm pretty
    comfortable working in a Linux environment so I thought I'd tackle this
    project in FreeBSD because of BSD's reputation for stability and security.

    Part of the ETBWMGR's requirements is to have apache installed, which is
    normally fine. I used the /stand/sysinstall program to install a basic
    version of apache:

    # /stand/sysinstall

    Configure -> Packages -> www -> apache-1.3.29_3

    However, now when I go to install php, I get an error message (Error
    code 1) and when I try to remove the check box next to the apache
    package, I get a "This package is required by 2 other packages" error
    message.

    So, my questions is simple: What do I need to do to figure out what
    packages require apache to be installed? I've worked with SuSE's YAST
    tool and RPM's (and tools that manage RPM's... like YAST), but what's
    the BSD way to go about this?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
