For full PHP support monkeyd requires dev-php/php-cgi. Doccumentation and examples also point to a php binary other than the correct one for use in the config file "/etc/monkeyd/monkey.conf" (/usr/bin/php instead of /usr/bin/php-cgi) which does not work. This is quite frustrating, confusing, and can send many a sysadmin down a long dark windy road. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install monkeyd 2. Fiddle with PHP for hours not totally sure of the problem. 3. Get frustrated and notice something new, and alter the config file in the correct manner. Actual Results: PHP round peg doesn't fit into monkeyd square hole without alot of nurting and attention. Expected Results: Although the php use flag isn't intended for such purposes, perhaps getting the proper dependancies would be a good idea? Or at the very least a warning at the end of the ebuild. Perhaps even an alternate configuration file to make life simpler for lazy admins who just want a very simple http server for their intranet.

so, adding 'php? ( dev-php/php-cgi )' to the RDEPEND would work for you ?
Created attachment 26121 [details, diff] Adds "php" to RDEPEND and IUSE, as well as a breif warning. Chose to use ewarn instead of einfo since the binary /usr/bin/php-cgi is very easy to miss. Let me know if there's any problem with this.
i added the RDEPEND but i changed it so it'll just updated the .conf file for you: if use php ; then dosed '/^#AddScript application\/x-httpd-php/s:^#::' /etc/monkeyd/monkey.conf dosed 's:/home/my_home/php/bin/php:/usr/bin/php-cgi:' /etc/monkeyd/monkey.conf fi
