Description cecolon 2004-03-03 15:29:53 UTC

I am not sure if this is a bug or "feature", but after asking on IRC i was told to report it as a bug.

As described in topic, mod_php does not seem to compile support for apache2, but still install it. (Should there be any optional support for apache1)? I have not installed it yet, so I don't know if php will work or not.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -pv mod_php

you're wrong here.
read the description of the Apache2 use flag more closely:
Apache2 - Chooses Apache2 support when a package supports both Apache1 and Apache2

PHP's logic is the following:
if NO apache is installed, pull in apache2 and use it
if apache1 ONLY is installed, use it
if apache2 ONLY is installed, use it
if BOTH apache1 and apache2 are installed, look at the apache2 USE flag.
