After emerging mod_php and setting the APACHE2_OPTS variable with -D PHP4, on apache2ctl start, apache will not load the module because the <IfDefine PHP4> conditional does not evaluate as true. Further investigation revealed that the init.d/apache2 script had an error. I was able to fix the problem by modifiying the start() section of the script so that ${APACHE2_OPTS} was *before* the -k start option. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge mod_php 2. echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" > /home/httpd/htdocs/info.php 3. browse to info.php For any .php file in htdocs directory this is true. Actual Results: The code was displayed on the screen. Expected Results: Expected to see the PHP output, not the source code.

Good little catch!
Donny, I don't feel like closing your bugs, so could you... :)
Markus Nigbur; excuse me, but I will close/fix it when I have time. Why are you posting irritating comments like that? Its a small glitch at BEST and I work on this project in my vounteered, spare time.
Well after taking a closer look: If I start apache2 with the init.d/apache script, the command line looks like: /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -D PHP4 -D SSL and my PHP applications work. If I start apache2 with apache2ctl, the command line looks like: /usr/sbin/apache2 -D PHP4 -D SSL -k start and my PHP applications work. This is with tge apache-2.0.47-r1 ebuild, so what is there to fix?
Got same error with the new Apache emerge ( net-www/apache-2.0.48 ). Apache wouldn't start when APACHE_OPTS="-D PHP4", same fix as before (edit the /etc/init.d/apache2 script, move ${APACHE_OPTS} so its before -k start)
emerge apache emerge mod_php php edit /etc/conf.d/apache2 to enable -D PHP4 works here
