Updating to Drupal6 on FreeBSD 7: Error Code 1 during make install

I had a working Drupal site and I tried to upgrade my 5.5 version to Drupal6. After trying to update the version from the ports collection:

cd /usr/ports/www/drupal6
make install ; make clean

I received an error:

autoconf: required version 2.68 not found

I then went to the ports directory for autoconf and ran: make install ; make clean

Everything installed correctly but when I try to reinstall drupal6 I get the same error message, which is:

My drupal site: jameshayekserv.com/drupal

shows a blank page...

my wordpress site: jameshayekserv.com/wordpress

tells me:

Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.

I then tried to i开发者_运维百科nstall the php5 port and get the same exact error as above, autoconf: required version 2.68 not found, although it is installed.

I also tried the command:

make config

while in the php5 directory. I did not see any options pertaining to MySQL

At one point I got tired of using ports and downloaded Drupal-7.0 from the Drupal site and then scp the file to my server.

I then renamed my /usr/local/www/drupal6 folder to RENAMED_drupal6 Placed the drupal-7.0 folder in the /www directory. I then changed the drupal.conf file from:

jameshayekserv# less /usr/local/etc/apache22/Includes/drupal.conf
Alias /drupal "/usr/local/www/drupal5/"
<Directory "/usr/local/www/drupal5/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

to:

jameshayekserv# less /usr/local/etc/apache22/Includes/drupal.conf
Alias /drupal "/usr/local/www/drupal-7.0/"
<Directory "/usr/local/www/drupal-7.0/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

I then restarted apache:

apachectl graceful

After thinking I was done I tried to visit my drupal site:

jameshayekserv.com/drupal and was greeted with a blank page.

I can't install from ports after updating, I can't install by placing the folder in the directory and I can't get rid of the "autoconf: required version 2.68 not found" error even though I installed the latest port of autoconf.

I am stuck and down a drupal site with no clue what to do.

Try this: cd /usr/ports/devel/autoconf-wrapper && make clean && make deinstall && make reinstall

Threre is a hint in /usr/ports/UPDATING about this: 20101204: AFFECTS: autotools AUTHOR: autotools@FreeBSD.org

The next stage in the ongoing cleanup of autotools-using ports is a refactoring of bsd.autotools.mk so that version numbers are no longer needed within the USE_AUTOTOOLS stanza. There is either autoconf213/autoconf or automake14/automake (for the legacy versions, and the currently available versions). This will considerably reduce the amount of tree-wide patching in future on an update.

IMPORTANT: if you have either devel/autoconf-wrapper or devel/automake-wrapper installed on your system (and you most likely do) PLEASE update these ports to their new versions before updating anything else -- Bad Things[tm] are likely to happen otherwise.
