php52 - depends on non-standard apache2 config

[apinstein@…]

I have installed apache2 + php52 / php53 a few times from scratch lately, and there is a slight problem that's very tricky to track down.

The default httpd.conf from the apache install no longer includes:

Include conf/extras-conf/*

Thus the conf file that the php5* ports install in that directory are never loaded, and php is not available by default on machines "ootb".

I am not sure the most appropriate way to fix this, whether this is an apache bug or a php bug, but it seemed more appropriate to report to you first since you are relying on an assumption about apache configs.

I look forward to your response.
