Installing mod_contribs and running config from the ebuild, updates /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf including the following line: LoadModule auth_external_module extramodules/mod_auth_external.so Apache complains at this line and won't start. Liberal use of guesswork, trial and error and "strings" led me to change it to: LoadModule external_auth_module extramodules/mod_auth_external.so This now starts up although I haven't yet tested if it works as it should, or if there are similar problems with other modules, I'm afraid I don't have the knowledge to go deeper in finding the solution but at least the temporary fix is simple enough. Keep up the good work, George.
carp; i'll look at this in time.
appreciated the report... and i left it here so that others could find it if they had the same issue. just kind of an annoyance thing since the ebuild tries to install all of the mods as easily as possible. with apache-1 basically deprecated im just gonna leave it alone.
