That patch helped, in fact is was invaluable, but it wasn't the only piece to the possible.

Please recall that mythweb worked fine as of two months ago, then it broke. To fix it:

1. Apply patch previously attached to his email.
  a. Copy patch to '/usr/ports/multimedia/mythtv'.
  b. run 'patch < mythtv.patch'.
2. Turn on bindings for mythtv.
  a. 'cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mythtv'
  b. 'patch < mythtv.patch'
3. Re-compile mythtv.
  a. 'make reinstall'
  b. '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mythbackend restart'
4. Install PHP 5.3. PHP 5.4 no longer supports call by reference.
  a. 'cd /usr/ports/lang/php53'
  b. 'make install'
5. Configure PHP 5.3 to allow call by reference.
  a. 'cd /usr/local/etc'
  b. 'cp php.ini-development php.ini'
  c. Change "allow_call_time_pass_reference" from "Off" to "On" in php.ini.
6. Install mythweb.
  a. 'cd /usr/ports/www/mythplugin-mythweb'
  b. 'make reinstall'

If mythweb has never been configured to work with Apache, then that should also be done.

I'm still getting familiar with the ports system. If it's possible, I'd suggest preventing lang/php5 (aka PHP 5.4) from installing when compiling mythweb. There's probably some other stuff than could be done too, but again I don't know ports very well.

Alan, thanks for your help. My wife is quite happy her "So You Think You Can Dance" shows will be recorded. ;-)

Cheers,
Jason

P.S. Doh! Resending. Forgot to send to the list.
