handle a couple of sites on FreeBSD and NetBSD, and you almost always<br>
have to install items as extras that are supposed to be PHP defaults.<br>
Most likely you need to get the php5-mysql port installed. If you are<br>
using Drupal 7 then you need the php5-pdo and php5-json, and<br>
php5-pdo_mysql ports also. If you want to do any image manipulation then<br>
grab php5-gd. You might as well grab php5-curl also since there are<br>
quiet a few modules that use curl.<br>
<br>
And I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things. I always do when I deal with *BSD.<br>
<br>
Yup I did - php5-session also LOL.<br>
