Bug 187043 – apache segfaults due to apr/apr-util mismatch with apache modules

• Product: [OLD] Docs on www.gentoo.org
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Nick 2007-07-29 18:06:54 UTC]

Initially, this didn't solve the problem.  Problem was that previous versions of apr and apr-util were present.  I removed all versions and reinstalled apr, apr-util, apache and php. TBs are Go!

Maybe emerge -P apr apr-util before reinstalling apache would have been sufficient.

Summary: Two suggestions to include;-
emerge -P apr apr-util
remove all versions and reinstall

Can you try it again and find which is a real solution? Either removing the older versions or all versions; we have to know which actually does the job before we could include such a suggestion in the guide.

As noted 'remove all versions and reinstall' works, ie. real solution;
1.  remove all versions of apr, apr-util & apache
    rebuild apr, apr-util, apache & php

It might work to do;
2.  emerge -P apr apr-util
    rebuild apache & php

If someone finds themself in this position with apache segfaulting, as I did, they might like to try the 2nd suggestion (which is slightly quicker) when rebuilding the tool stack.  If apache still segfaults, they will have to resort to the 1st, as I did.

I think part of the problem is that apr & apr-util are at version 1.2.8 and in a new slot, whereas the instructions insist on version (slot?) 0*.

My LAMP stack now works, and I don't intend to break it just to see if pruning is effective in fixing it.  I would have to;
  remove apr, apr-util, apache & php
  install old versions of apr, apr-util, apache & php
  upgrade apr, apr-util, apache & php
* hope it breaks *
Then try to fix it with;
  emerge -P apr apr-util
  rebuild apache & php
At this point my LAMP stack might still be broken:  I don't think so.

Summary:
1.  real solution -- Tested & Verified.
2.  update of existing instructions, that is more likely to work with current
    versions of tool stack -- impractical for me to test.

This sounds like duplicate of Bug 182453 (not much useful info posted here) and I don't think it should be documented anywhere.
