Bug 79014 – net-www/apache-2.0.52-r1 does not create /var/cache/apache2 directory for ssl mutexes

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Michael Crawford (ali3nx) 2005-01-21 15:39:58 UTC]

on a fresh install of apache-2.0.52-r1 the directory required by the ssl engine for ssl mutexes is not created. Subsequently apache2 fails to start if -D SSL is included in conf.d/apache2 due to /var/cache/apache2 not being present.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =apache-2.0.52-r1
2. edit conf.d/apache2 including -D SSL
3. attemting to start apache will fail with only a warning in the error_log file about the missing directory.

Actual Results:  
ebuild for apache2 should create the needed symlinks and directories required
for seamless operation of apache webserver.

Expected Results:  
all required runtime directories and symlinks should be present after
installation of apache webserver.

This is already fixed for net-www/apache-2.0.52-r3.
However, this release is masked (profiles/package.mask) due
our huge updates that still needs testing.


sws ~ # qpkg -nc -l apache | grep -E '(var/cache|net-www/apache)'
net-www/apache-2.0.52-r3
/var/cache
/var/cache/apache2
/var/cache/apache2/.keep


If you volunteer and know what you're doing, unmask apr/apr-util 
at least, too. But be aware, that you have to remerge any 
ebuild (mod_php, or other app/lib) that directly and/or 
indirectly depends on apr/apr-util since these now - by default - 
support LFS (large file support).
