On last friday I have to installe for some test the php-5.2. Later, I've rmoved it. And just today discovered, that with removing of old masked php5, I've lost the necessary for normal operation of php-5.3 /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up web-server (apache2 + php (now 5.3)); 2. Unmask and install php-5.2 (also with apache module); 3. Switch back to php-5.3 and uninstall php-5.2 4. Restart web-server and try to open php-page. Actual Results: Plain text because of missed module amd mime declaration from /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf. Expected Results: 1. Correct display of web page. 2. pkg_config target in dev-lang/php ebuild to restore missed file automatically without rebuilding of php. Some similiar issue I've seen (but not reproduced) with /etc/env.d/50oracle-instantclient-basic $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.10.11 (default/linux/x86/10.0, gcc-4.5.3, glibc-2.12.2-r0, 3.0.6-gentoo

Yeah, i've got similar situation. Php5.2 is almost dead but we going to have php5.4 and problem will back again.
I tried to reproduce this, but both with Portage 2.1 and Portage 2.2, the file is kept after removing a slot when multiple slots are built with the apache2 USE flag. The file gets removed when I unmerge the last installed slot.
My version "how to reproduce problem" is: a) USE="apache2" emerge php:5.3 $ ls -l /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 348 11-09 11:53 /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf b) USE="apache2" emerge php:5.2 $ ls -l /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 348 11-09 11:55 /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf (we can see time of modification is changed) c) hmm, no, i don't need php5.2, let me uninstall it # emerge -C php:5.2 $ ls -l /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf ls: cannot access /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf: No such file or directory Ups, apache will not work after reload/restart.
I can reproduce the problem with 5.2 and 5.3, but not with 5.3 and 5.4. Would you be able to test this?
(In reply to comment #4) > I can reproduce the problem with 5.2 and 5.3, but not with 5.3 and 5.4. > To my mind it's so because of mask handling (in the case 5.2 and 5.3 now 5.2 is masked; in the case 5.3 and 5.4 5.3 is not masked).
I've done: - emerge php:5.3 - emerge php:5.4 - emerge -C php:5.4 and i got: $ ls -l /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf ls: cannot access /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf: No such file or directory
(In reply to comment #6) > I've done: > - emerge php:5.3 > - emerge php:5.4 > - emerge -C php:5.4 > > and i got: > $ ls -l /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf > ls: cannot access /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf: No such file or > directory How about when you remove 5.3 instead? Maybe that is why I could not reproduce it earlier, because I removed the non-masked package. If so, this problem is more about portage behaviour than a bug in the PHP ebuild. And I do not really know of any way of fixing this.
Problem appears when you uninstall latest installed php. When php:5.FOO installs mod_php5 this file has checksumm XYZXYZ, then we install php:5.BAR . File mod_php5 wasn't changed mannualy so portage overwrites using file from new version of php (php:5.BAR). Now if we remove php:5.FOO portage will not delete mod_php5 because checksum/timestamp was changed but when we do emerge -C php:5.BAR those file will be deleted. It could be hard to do with portage without using diffrent name of file which loads php. Quick proposals: - every php slot should install file with diffrent name (mod_php5.FOO.conf) then apache complians when we try to reload-> let user fix problem - eselect php set apache2 should create this file from template portage will not even know that such file exists->it will not remove it. - as you standed earlier let portage's team do some magic :)
Good to know about this. I am not sure if any of the proposed solutions are good enough. It is the first time I have heard about this issue and we have had multiple slots in portage for quite some time now. I'll see if anyone in the herd can come up with some other solutions.
(In reply to comment #9) > It is the first time I have heard about this issue and we have had > multiple slots in portage for quite some time now. I can say why it is so: 1. To my experience many (most) multi-slot packages are libraries (have no commonly used files); 2. In the listed case (php): the issue doesn't appear in normal evalution (upgrade and remove outdated version). For this case (php) I can suggest the following workaround: 1. Make problem file (70_mod_php5.conf) slot-depended. Like it is done for config files in /etc/php/. I.e. 70_mod_php5-2.conf, 70_mod_php5-3.conf, 70_mod_php5-4.conf and so long. 2. Make apache php include directive also slot-depended. I.e. instead "-D PHP5" use "-D PHP5_2", "-D PHP5_3", "-D PHP5_4" and so long. 3. Make eselect php apache to update APACHE2_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/apache2 (or remind user to do it). But I think it will be good to think about question of file collisions (and common usage of some files by packages from different slots. I was not very pleased, when find that command line tools for openssl from 0.9.8 slot are unavailable.
Thanks for the input, guys. See my concerns above. (In reply to comment #8) > - every php slot should install file with diffrent name (mod_php5.FOO.conf) > then apache complians when we try to reload-> let user fix problem Will apache complain? I think it will just silently use the lowest PHP version due to file name sorting. There are IF statements in the configs that ensures PHP is only loaded once. So the outcome might be that the user is unaware that he needs to clean up the apache modules dir. Changing PHP slot would also be a bit troublesome. > - eselect php set apache2 should create this file from template > portage will not even know that such file exists->it will not remove it. I am generally not a big fan of adding files outside of portage. It is possible to let eselect-php handle the file completely, including removing it in pkg_postrm if the last slot with apache2 was removed. This would require a bit of work and a bit of magic, out of which a lot can go wrong. > - as you standed earlier let portage's team do some magic :) I do not think this one is feasible in the near future.

The downside is that mod_php is no longer controlled by eselect-php, but in my mind, that is not a big problem. Users who try to add multiple -D PHP5* would suffer the same consequence as the first proposal of comment 8.
Caught the same issue while testing on upgrade from 5.3 to 5.4. (In reply to comment #11) > > For this case (php) I can suggest the following workaround: > > 1.

So, excluding this file from dev-lang/php package list will solve the issue. If there is no compatibility issues (the same 70_mod_php5.conf is compatible with all available versions of dev-lang/php). It could be done for example by adding to app-admin/eselect-php package apache2 USE flag, installing 70_mod_php5.conf file.
I will see if I have the time to implement that for the bump after this one.
(In reply to comment #13) > I will see if I have the time to implement that for the bump after this one. Thank you! I've thought a little bit more... :) And find one more, looking to be better solution: 1. Regular config file name belongs each to a proper php version and placed into /etc/php/apache2-php5.N/ directory. Possiblely with correcting of filename (from source 70_mod_php5.conf to 70_mod_php5.N.conf). 2. Apache still uses /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf. 3. Apache's conf file belongs to app-admin/eselect-php (depending on added to this package apache2 USE). 4. The /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf is eselect php apache2 module's managed symbolic link, pointing on a proper /etc/php/apache2-php5.N/70_mod_php5.N.conf regular config file. So, different sl;ot-available versions of dev-lang/php could use incompatible (different) Apache's 70_mod_php5.conf files.

That would certainly complicate setup. Do you have any examples of how 70_mod_php5.conf could be different between slots from upstream's perspective? I can see that users may want different files, but once users start messing with configs, that is out of the scope of what we try to do.

No. It was just thinking about common solution. > I can see that users may want different files, but once users > start messing with configs, that is out of the scope of what we try to do. To my mind the provided mechanism should be operable both with default and user-changed configs. The easiest (first suggested) solution (adding apache2 use flag to app-admin/eselect-php with moving 70_mod_php5.conf to this package, or even moving apache2 flag from dev-lang/php to app-admin/eselect-php) looks to be good enough.
the fpm and apache2 files have been moved to eselect-php so this should no longer be an issue.
