Bug 383085 – www-servers/apache-2.2.21[-suexec] provides an httpd.conf that wants load mod_suexec.so

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2011-09-15 12:38:34 UTC]

As per $summary, I build apache without suexec, but I have as default in my httpd.conf:

LoadModule suexec_module modules/mod_suexec.so


and obviously fails to start.

amd64box ~ # /etc/init.d/apache2 start
apache2         | * apache2 has detected an error in your setup:
apache2         |apache2: Syntax error on line 131 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib64/apache2/modules/mod_suexec.so into server: /usr/lib64/apache2/modules/mod_suexec.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Ago, I'm unable to reproduce this problem. It looks like something went wrong during dispatch.conf. suexec module will be loaded only if you have -DSUEXEC in APACHE2_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/apache2. Both of this files are generated and updated during merge.

<IfDefine SUEXEC>
LoadModule suexec_module modules/mod_suexec.so
</IfDefine>

Try to clean configuration and rebuild server.

right, close as INVALID for now.
