Bug 17351 – Apache/PHP missing symlink from /usr/sbin/apxs2 to /usr/sbin/apxs

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dion Sayles 2003-03-12 02:04:48 UTC]

When emerging apache like the docs Code Listing 8.1:  The emerge fails due to a missing 
/usr/sbin entry:  apxs.  This is fixable by adding a symbolic link from apxs to apxs2.

Update, this is in the mod_php build.  After creating the symlink to apxs the following 
error message shows up: 
 
Configuring SAPI modules 
checking for AOLserver support... no 
checking for Apache 1.x module support via DSO through APXS... configure: error: You 
have enabled Apache 1.3 support while your server is Apache 2.  Please use the 
appropiate switch --with-apxs2 
 
!!! ERROR: dev-php/mod_php-4.3.1-r1 failed. 
!!! Function src_compile, Line 219, Exitcode 1 
!!! bad ./configure

Try this:

    USE="apache2" emerge mod_php

and don't have the symlink

Adding apache2 to the USE variable helped.  Then I ran into the same problem as bug 
16910.  After adjusting the mod_php ebuild script mod_php-4.3.1.ebuild, I emerged 
again and it defaults to the -r1.ebuild.  I then had to emerge the proper ebuild and it 
finally worked. 
 
Thanks for the help and bugzilla.... :)
