apache cannot be emerged, the following happens if you try: - >>> Source unpacked. * Using /home/httpd /home/httpd as apache's default data directory. * Using /usr/portage/net-www/apache/files/apache-builtin-mods for builtins. Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.27 + using installation path layout: Apache (config.layout) configure:Error: invalid option '/home/httpd' !!! ERROR: net-www/apache-1.3.27-r1 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line -2, Exitcode 1 !!! bad ./configure -
ebuild is: net-www/apache-1.3.27-r1 the problem seems to be that $DATA_DIR becomes "$DATA_DIR $DATA_DIR" somewhere before ./configure [...]
/etc/passwd has to apache entries... should have been my first idea, sorry. i guess there's only one apache in gentoos standard /etc/passwd, so it's obviously my fault. sorry for badgering you.
