I am using the litespeed websever but have Apache injected using /etc/portage/profile/package.provided:- net-www/apache-2.0.58 However when emerging I get the following error:- * Running //usr/sbin/webapp-config -I -h localhost -u root -d /base base 1.2.4 * Fatal error: Your configuration file sets the server type "Apache" * Fatal error: but the corresponding package does not seem to be installed! * Fatal error: Please "emerge >=net-www/apache-1.3" or correct your settings. * Fatal error(s) - aborting So I seem to end up with the package correctly added to my world but not configured correctly by webapp-config. I imagine that webapp-config should check the package.provided file and assume apache is installed and therefore install correctly using the default Apache settings.
Well, not really webapp-config bug, portage completely ignores the file, i.e. - apache is not installed for any portage purposes (incl. tools that check for whether it's installed or not).
(In reply to comment #1) > Well, not really webapp-config bug, portage completely ignores the file Or I just need to learn to stop sticking = in front of package.provided entries. Sorry for the noise, portage folks.
Fixed in webapp-config-1.50.16. This version is available from my overlay (http://overlays.gentoo.org/dev/wrobel) and will be moved to portage next week. Thanks for the report!
