I did a emerge net-www/apache dev-lang/php net-www/mod_ssl and followd all the instructions on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/desktop.html#doc_chap7. If i start it with "start-stop-daemon --quiet --start --startas /usr/sbin/apache --pidfile /var/run/apache.pid -- ${APACHE_OPTS}" i can see apache running. If i start with /etc/init.d/apache start it gives an ok message but does not start. I dont see nothing wrong in the logs. Also if i start with the big line i dont have php or https. I am having this problem in Gentoo Linux PPC, dont know if is arch specifiq
Okay, I've confirmed it. It's doing the same thing for me. * Logs show nothing out of the ordinary doing an /etc/init.d/apache start but the server does not start with PHP enabled. * Starting using "apachectl start"aorks. I'll play with it some more and hopefully have a fix by the end of the day.
I am wondering if this is some issue with some of our recent apache changes, can you please do the following, emerge -C apache then remove the apache user and group from /etc/passwd and /etc/group emerge /usr/portage/net-www/apache/apace-1.3.26-r4.ebuild I believe that will actually take care of you, if not, then it is still a bug :)
I did as Brandon suggested. Just after the emerge started i got this: tching file src/support/httpd.exp patching file src/ApacheCore.def >>> Source unpacked. * DATA_DIR is null! Using defaults. * You probably want to check /etc/passwd * Using /home/httpd as the default data directory. * >>> using /etc/apache/apache-builtin-mods for builtins... The first two * where red. After the ebuild ended the problem was still hapening.
I'm wondering if any progress has been made? Do the latest Apache revisions work as intended?
yes. All is NOT working as expected. Also I had some problems with the upgrade to 1.4. So i am waiting for the 1.4 to come out and then will do a new install. So probably a goos idea to close the bug.
try out apache-1.3.27 ...
I had to remove gentoo from the box. Probably a good idea to remove this bug....
