Bug 22504 – mod_php ebuild installation instructions are incorrect

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stephen 2003-06-09 13:08:16 UTC]

the installation instructions at the end of mod_php emerge says to add "-D PHP".
The correct syntax is "-D PHP4". But to even go further, it would need to state
that /etc/init.d/apache needs to have "-D PHP4" added to APACHE_OPTS (which is
missing from the init file, I had to add it).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.

3.

no, you are mistaken.
'-D PHP' is definetly correct, and that is what is displayed at the end of the mod_php emerge.

If you see anything that states '-D PHP4', please inform us about it, so that we can correct it.

The current instructions explictly state:
"Edit /etc/conf.d/apache2 and add '-D PHP'"
"Edit /etc/conf.d/apache and add '-D PHP'"
Depending on which version of apache you are using.

If you put -D PHP in apache's init file, php does NOT work. if you use -D PHP4 then it does work.

Fixed in the new PHP relasing tonight.
I've made sure all of PHP4 is using the 'PHP4' value now, so that it does not conflict with PHP5.
