mod_unique_id, a module for apache2 is enabled by default in the net-www/apache-2.0.50 ebuild. This causes problems if not configured correctly and most users do not have the knowledge or the need to use and configure this module correctly. It should not be enabled by default and should be removed from the ebuild Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge =apache-2.0.50 2./etc/init.d/apache2 start Actual Results: Apache service fails to start but does not print an error, simply [ !! ] in on stdout Expected Results: Started as normal System uname: 2.6.7-gentoo-r12 i686 AMD Duron(tm) Processor Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa apm avi cdr crypt cups encode esd foomaticdb gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mpeg mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga tcpd truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib" To correct this one simply has to comment out or remove the LoadModule line corisponding to mod_unique_id. This should be done by default
mod_unique_id is no longer enabled by default in 2.0.52-r3 and 1.3.33-r1, which are currently hardmasked for testing. http://dev.gentoo.org/~vericgar/package-refresh.txt http://dev.gentoo.org/~vericgar/doc/apache-package-refresh.html
