Re: pkg_add -r mod_php5 conflicts with apache-2.0.53_1

Dear Clem and others, 

Thank you for the explanation of why using pkg_add didn't work, however, I don't know how to "use ports tree and not packages." nor
"... build your packages set." I will spend some time in the handbook to see if I can learn how, but if someone would care to write back, it would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
