# eselect php set apache2 1
ln: target `/usr/lib/apache2/modules/' is not a directory: No such file or directory
!!! Error: Failed to set symlink for libphp5.so
exiting

# mkdir /usr/lib/apache2/modules

# eselect php set apache2 1
You have to run `/etc/init.d/apache2 restart' for the changes to take effect

This happened on a system with www-servers/apache[static] and no other apache modules installed.

we now "keepdir /usr/lib/apache2/modules" for that reason. not sure this is the right way, but it's a working way at least ;)
