I am working after doing a lot of reading ....
the freebsd step by step helped and the docs but needs to be updated
i am working on freebsd 5.3-release
mysql-client-5.0.0_2 Multithreaded SQL database (client)
mysql-server-5.0.0_2 Multithreaded SQL database (server)
php5-mysql-5.0.2 The mysql shared extension for php
version 1.4.2+
need to be sure php5-extensions is loaded with mysql
make a index.php to check that php is loaded correctly
once mysql and php are working make test page to check they are working
together
need to mkdir under moodledata for cache and sessions
why ... need more detail on docs on how php is setup or a link to those u are knew to lamp ... would help fix issues with os mysql php version issues
and helps to find and fix problems

I am curious as to why you are using FreeBSD instead of the more widely used Linux. I believe one reason in favor of the BSD versions is a better security history, is that your motivation?
