Bug 59203 – mod_php installs /usr/bin/php

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description awk 2004-08-02 15:52:15 UTC]

This is the same problem as in bug #50908 and others .. I still see it. Both php and mod_php ebuilds install /usr/bin/php, but mod_php (w/ apache2) is configured to use /etc/php/apache2-php4/php.ini while the cli version uses /etc/php/cli-php4/php.ini. This can result in subtle bugs depending on what order they are installed in.

At first glance, it looks like the solution is for mod_php to just not ever install /usr/bin/php, since it already has a depedency on dev-php/php.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
To reproduce, just install or update php, then mod_php in that order, then run:

php -i | grep 'Config.*Path'
Actual Results:  
prints: 
 
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php/apache2-php4/php.ini 

Expected Results:  
print: 
 
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php/cli-php4/php.ini

please attach the output of:
qpkg -l php 2>&1 -nc -v |egrep '^[^/]|/bin/php'


(you'll need to install gentoolkit for qpkg).

here it is.

apply attached patch to your php-sapi.eclass, rebuild mod_php and confirm that /usr/bin/php is no longer being installed.

I now have apace2 compiled with USE=-threads and am trying to compile php and mod_php (in that order) with USE=session. I get the following error when mod_php is about to be installed:

>>> Completed installing into /var/tmp/portage/mod_php-5.0.2/image/

Now, while this bug has "/usr/bin/php" in the summary, I still think it also applies to this issue. Here, the mod_php extensions are to overwrite the php extensions. That's wrong. The solution would be, to put the mod_php extensions some place else, like in /usr/lib/mod_php. The solution would *not* be to remove the mod_php extensions, because it's entirely possible and senseful to compile php differently than mod_php.-

Alexander Skwar: open a new bug. do NOT reuse old bugs like this.

[Comment 9 Alexander Skwar 2004-11-15 23:11:02 UTC]

Sure, no problem. Please see Bug# 71359.
