same 'problem' here. Found some patches around to port this MPM to 2.4 but haven't had time to test it
Comment 7 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2012-11-28 03:36:17 UTC
ITK users are probably better off waiting a while before upgrading to the 2.4.x (or even 2.5.x) series. The updated patchset should work here; however, the author recently announced that upstream changes will finally obviate the need to patch Apache at all:

  http://lists.err.no/pipermail/mpm-itk/2012-November/000591.html

Apache maintainence has slowed recently (no offense to those who stepped up to fix bugs!), and personally I'd feel more comfortable compiling a separate package that I or someone else can maintain against a vanilla Apache (which necessarily gets more attention).
Comment 8 shinydoofy 2013-01-27 23:31:43 UTC
I just ran into this issue as well. Is there any progress on this issue, possibly even a workaround using an overlay to get this running?
Comment 9 Timo Gurr (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-02-27 17:11:37 UTC
Attaching a new ebuild www-apache/mpm_itk following upstreams direction in providing a separate module instead of patching apache directly now that apache 2.4 supports this kind of stuff. Currently apache 2.4.4 still needs 3 minor patches (shipped with mpm_itk tarball) which according to the mpm_itk readme are already applied in svn trunk. I'm also attaching the apache patches for completeness and since one of them needs a little modification.

apache-2.4.4-r1389339-pre-htaccess-hook.diff
Comment 16 Christophe PEREZ 2013-03-04 19:12:22 UTC
I have the same problem too, with apache 2.4.4 in stable portage.
I tried to use ebuild and patches given, it compiles but doesn't start.
what I did :

=> /etc/portage/patches/www-servers/apache-2.4.4-r1
apache-2.4.4-r1368121-post-perdir-config-hook.diff
apache-2.4.4-r1389339-pre-htaccess-hook.diff
apache-2.4.4-r1388447-dirwalk-stat-hook.diff

=> grep apache /etc/portage/package.keywords
=www-apache/mpm_itk-2.4.4_p3 ~amd64
=www-servers/apache-2.4.4-r1 ~amd64

ls -R /usr/local/portage/www-apache/mpm_itk/
/usr/local/portage/www-apache/mpm_itk/:
files
Manifest
mpm_itk-2.4.4_p3.ebuild

/usr/local/portage/www-apache/mpm_itk/files:
00_mpm_itk.conf
mpm_itk-2.4.4_p3_seccomp_64bit.patch
(ebuild digest is ok)

added epatch_user to /usr/portage/www-servers/apache/apache-2.4.4-r1.ebuild

added -D MPM_ITK to /etc/conf.d/apache2

Apache seems to be patched :
 * Applying user patches from /etc/portage/patches//www-servers/apache-2.4.4-r1 ...
 * Done with patching

But :
 # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
 * apache2 has detected an error in your setup:
apache2: Syntax error on line 156 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/apache2/modules.d/00_mpm_itk.conf: Cannot load modules/mpm_itk.so into server: /usr/lib64/apache2/modules/mpm_itk.so: undefined symbol: ap_hook_pre_htaccess
 * ERROR: apache2 failed to stop

(sorry for my bad english)
Comment 17 Christophe PEREZ 2013-03-04 20:13:21 UTC
In fact, patches seems not to be applied, I don't know why.
I tried to patch manually after ebuild $(equery which apache) configure
(I had to modify a little the patches), then merge. Rebuild modules like php (subversion conf gives a warning) and it seems to work now.

Apache failed to *stop*. If you killed it manually (without letting it parse the config and try to load that module), it probably would have started up afterwards.

Unrelated: 2.4.4_p4 was just released and it looks like at least the seccomp fix was upstreamed.

Comment 26 Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-11-11 21:28:47 UTC
What are we waiting for on this bug? :)
Comment 27 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2013-11-12 13:37:18 UTC
The last word from upstream was,

  http://lists.err.no/pipermail/mpm-itk/2013-July/000676.html

At this point, I think we should wait for a separate mpm-itk, hopefully in the next apache release.

That puts us closer to upstream, and reduces the complexity in the ebuild.
Comment 28 Timo Gurr (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-11-26 10:28:40 UTC
Since apache 2.4.7 has been released now it carries the last missing piece (open_htaccess_hook) to build mpm_itk as an external module without patching apache. mpm_itk-2.4.6_p1 still builds against apache 2.4.7 and also seems to work just fine.
Comment 29 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2013-11-27 01:53:43 UTC
And we have an official mpm-itk release for apache-2.4.7:

http://lists.err.no/pipermail/mpm-itk/2013-November/000713.html

Due to the way the apache ebuild is written, it's difficult to modify/test in an overlay. I'd like to test this ASAP, but I'll probably wait for apache-2.4.7 to hit ~arch and then begin testing a standalone mpm-itk-2.4.7 based on Timo's ebuild.

Once standalone mpm-itk hits the tree, apache can be revbumped to clean up its build system.
Comment 30 Christophe PEREZ 2014-01-22 05:41:10 UTC
So, if APACHE2_MPMS="itk" doesn't work anymore, why mpm_itk isn't in portage tree ?
Comment 31 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2014-01-23 14:48:52 UTC
(In reply to Christophe PEREZ from comment #30)
> So, if APACHE2_MPMS="itk" doesn't work anymore, why mpm_itk isn't in portage
> tree ?

I said I'd test with apache-2.4.7 ASAP, but I've had another project over the winter break. Realistically it will be either spring break (March) or summer before I can give this a good testing. We have several hundred sites I'd have to upgrade first.

If someone else wants to package mpm-itk and just stick it in ~arch, that's fine with me though.
Comment 32 Stefan00 2014-02-18 16:37:01 UTC
Confirmed this bug on Apache 2.4.7 too

Now, there must be a way to get this working somehow. Some easy way. Since PERUSER seems dead, ITK seems the only option to run Apache with a reasonable performance gain in a multiuser vhost environment. Although the option to use ITK is documented even on gentoo setup tutorials, emerge fails. 

This bug should be confirmed and considered important.

Comment 34 Stefan00 2014-02-18 17:20:56 UTC
thank you Timo for this ebuild which seems to match the 2.4.7 Apache.

Unfortunatly, I have no idea what to do with this file to make my Apache compile, I never used ebuilds. Any short hints? 

It's really nuts. I run a couple gentoo boxes since 1999 and Apache / PHP emerge has always been the most - lets say - "challanging" part. Thank you :)

Default conf file
Comment 40 shinydoofy 2014-05-27 19:22:35 UTC
FWIW, your latest ebuild and config file work great for me. However, I stumbled across the fact that mpm-itk needs a non-threaded apache and says so while failing to configure. Could that be incorporated into the ebuild to keep people from running into this and instead having an appropriate USE flag restriction?
Comment 41 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2014-05-28 02:28:53 UTC
Good idea. The 2.4.x series supports building more than one MPM, so depending on apache[-threads] won't work eventually. But for now, it should (see bug #511658). If that ever changes I can add an elog about it or something.
