Changing the --configure command to include --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs allows it to proceed, but I was unable to figure out how to get it to install completely.

Shouldn't you actually just need to use the apache2 variant?

Replying to jmr@macports.org:

Shouldn't you actually just need to use the apache2 variant?

Ryan suggested this as a solution in an email response. I'm just about finished doing this. For the reference of others, the following command is what Ryan suggested using:

port install php5 +apache2

That installs MacPort's Apache 2 (separate from Apple's version).

While it hasn't gone entirely smoothly, I'm confident this will solve the problem.

Duplicate of #14001.

What about setting the apache2 variant as default on Leopard? This will avoid errors when building php5 as a dependency.

[rene@…]

I did not notice the duplicate #14001, sorry.
