Hi all,

I am trying to update php4 to php5 on my FreeBSD 6.1-server, by using
the following 'manual':
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-July/127059.html

However, now I get error messages like " *Fatal error*: Call to
undefined function session_start()*".
This is strange, because I _did_ also update php5-session and
php5-extensions. I did restart apache, so what else can be wrong? This
is the configure command I used:

*'./configure' '--enable-versioning' '--with-layout=GNU'
'--with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/etc/php' '--disable-all'
'--enable-libxml' '--with-libxml-dir=/usr/local' '--enable-reflection'
'--program-prefix=' '--enable-fastcgi'
'--with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs' '--with-regex=php'
'--with-zend-vm=CALL' '--prefix=/usr/local'
*
anyone a clue how to get the session functionality back? thanks.

If you're correctly following the instructions I wrote in the
message you quoted, then you would never run configure directly.
The ports system does it all for you.

Do you have a php-session port installed? Does
/usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini contain the line:

extension=session.so

What do you get if you run this command?

% php -r 'phpinfo();' | grep -i session

Cheers,

Matthew
