After emerging mod_php-4.3.11 and restarting apache, everything worked fine for the last ~24 hours. After emerging mod_php-4.3.11-r1 last night, apache won't start: **Apache2 has detected a syntax error in your configuration files: **Syntax error on line 6 of /usr/lib/apache2/conf/modules.d/70_mod_php.conf: **Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/extramodules/libphp4.so into server: **/usr/lib/apache2/extramodules/libphp4.so: cannot open shared object file: No **such file or directory It looks like mod_php-4.3.11-r1 is installing libphp4.so in /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp4.so but /usr/lib/apache2/conf/modules.d/70_mod_php.conf is expecting the file to be in the old /usr/lib/apache2/extramodules/libphp4.so location. I apologize if this is a duplicate. The only related bug I found had to do with mod_php-4.3.11 (not 4.3.11-r1), and was related to portage overlay and broken symlinks. In this case there are no symlinks involved. That was bug 88699. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.echo "dev-php/mod_php ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords 2.echo ">=dev-php/mod_php-5.0.0" >> /etc/portage/package.mask 3.emerge -uD mod_php Actual Results: mod_php-4.3.11-r1 emerged without any errors. After executing `/etc/init.d/apache2 restart`, apache would not start due to the error listed in the Details. Expected Results: 70_mod_php.conf has already been updated correctly, but it's being installed in the wrong location (/etc/apache2/modules.d) instead of (/etc/apache2/conf/modules.d).

Created attachment 56095 [details, diff] Installs 70_mod_php.conf in the old location. I don't know if the changes should go in mod_php-4.3.11-r1 or on depend.apache.eclass. I'll submit a patch for that file next so the developers can decide.
Created attachment 56096 [details, diff] Changes the apache2 config directory This changes the config directory for apache2. It may be better to use the patch for mod_php-4.3.11-r1 instead.
No, this change is intentional. Please see Bug 77556 and http://dev.gentoo.org/~vericgar/doc/apache-package-refresh.html

Oops. So the patches are a step backwards. Thanks for the links Jakub (it's nice to see they're standardizing the apache installation). But the upgrade to mod_php-4.3.11-r1 still caused an error with apache (I should note that I'm using apache-2.0.52-r1). Perhaps mod_php-4.3.11-r1, should depend on >=net-www/apache-2.0.53 and/or dev-libs/apr?
You should be using preferably the latest ~x86 Apache with the latest unstable mod_php, which in turn solves the apr dependencies. Put the following into /etc/portage/package.keywords net-www/apache ~x86 dev-libs/apr ~x86 dev-libs/apr-util ~x86 net-www/gentoo-webroot-default ~x86 dev-php/mod_php ~x86 Otherwise, this is a too long and too messy story...
12 Apr 2005; Christian Parpart <trapni@gentoo.org> mod_php-4.3.11-r1.ebuild: let mod_php-4.3.11-r1 depend on apache-2.0.52-r3 instead of 2.0.43-r1 since only 2.0.52-r3 and above contain (and will contain) the new configuration layout, thus, this should prevent invalid bug reports, too Therefore, closing this bug as FIXED.
