After stabilisation =dev-lang/php-7.0.15 I've find apache2 failing to start. # service apache2 start * apache2 has detected an error in your setup: apache2: Syntax error on line 153 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 14 of /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf: Cannot load modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib64/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory * ERROR: apache2 failed to start # qlist dev-lang/php | grep libphp /usr/lib64/php7.0/apache2/libphp7.so # equery b /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf * Searching for /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf ... app-eselect/eselect-php-0.9.2 (/etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf) Of course I could update config manually. But, ideally it should be done by portage.
I'm sorry to hear about your issues. As part of the installation of eselect-php-0.9.2, warnings were issued to update your apache config file /etc/conf.d/apache to stop using -DPHP5 and start using -DPHP. The wiki documentation has long been updated with this as well. From the ebuild: "If you are upgrading, be warned that our mod_php configuration" "file has changed! You should now define -DPHP for the apache2" "daemon, and inspect the new 70_mod_php.conf which has been" "installed. Module loading involves eselect as of this version."
This was not help request, but a question about possible improvements. For a years of my experience in using Gentoo GNU/Linux it was first case, where necessary config update was not handled by etc-update and not listed in news (PHP5 argument in apache2's confd is succeed by PHP).
