Following the directions in the Virtual Mailhosting System Guide, I ran: emerge apache mod_php mod_ssl phpmyadmin mod_ssl-2.8.15.ebuild has DEPEND="=net-www/apache-1.3.28* ..." in it, so apache was emerged after apache2, overwriting at least some of the contents of /home/httpd/htdocs. I didn't realize until after I had emerged apache(2) again that the manual directory was a softlink, so I could have probably saved myself some effort, the the computer did most of the heavy lifting anyways. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upon initial system configuration, follow the directions in Virtual Mailhosting System Guide to emerge apache mod_php mod_ssl phpmyadmin. Actual Results: apache-1.3.28 was emerged after apache-2.0.47 Expected Results: Should have used apache-2.0.47 and not emerged apache-1.3.28 at all. Looking back, I can see that the emerge -p did say that it was going to emerge the older apache, but I didn't notice it among the 20 some odd packages that were listed. emerge -p apache mod_php mod_ssl phpmyadmin These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

You should not have to emerge mod_ssl, since it is included in apache2. So the guide should be changed, so is does not say anything about mod_ssl.
Created attachment 19420 [details, diff] Patch that removes mod_ssl from the guide This should be sufficient to fix this bug. If a docdev can review this I'd appreciate it.
patch looks good
Committed. Thanks for reporting!
