I'm having some trouble figuring out the best way to go about installing mod_python and python_mysql on my FreeBSD/DA box.
The trouble is that DA seems to totally ignore the FreeBSD ports system and installs its own packages for Apache and MySQL among many others. So if I use ports to try to install mod_python, the ports system wants to try and install a whole 'nother Apache web server (because it doesn't know about the one DA installed). Same problem with py25_mysql... ports system wants to start with a new installation of MySQL because it doesn't realize that DA has already installed one.
So my question is:
Is there any way for me to *tell* the ports system about packages that have been installed by DA?
How do other FreeBSD/DA users handle this issue?
Thanks, Sean
