Description Philip Olson 2010-05-27 04:20:02 UTC

This page:

  - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-apache.html

Has a link titled:

  - databases/php5-mysql

Which links to (a 404):

  - http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/databases/php5-mysql/pkg-descr

I stumbled around (sorry, not real familiar with freebsd infrastructure) and didn't find the seemingly correct page, but did end up here:

  - http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/databases/php5-mysql/

Maybe it's the desired place? Anyhow, that's the bug.

The problem is that for this specific port there is just no pkg-descr
file.  The port is there, the path is correct.  But pkg-descr does not
exist.  And probably never will.

The 404 you get is because links to ports within the documentation are
normally links to the pkg-descr file.

Only 2 ways to fix that:
- - add a pkg-descr file (this would need action from a ports committer)
- - change the link in the documentation (make it inactive in the end)

Option 1 will probably not happen.  All ports of this kind are just
"compiling options for the real port" (mysql support for php5 in this
case).  And there are a lot of them in the ports tree.
