Description Sebastien M 2005-04-05 14:27:01 UTC
I just updated apache2 to 2.0.53 and mod_php to 5.0.3. I noticed all the changes, but tried in vain to load mod_php, and it wasn't working. Later on I figured out that this apache build required the 70_mod_php5.conf to be in /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf instead of /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf

Quick fix : 
ln -s /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge sync && emerge apache -u && emerge mod_php -u
2./etc/init.d/apache2 restart
3.viewing any php page on the server, the server will send it as a common file. tail /var/log/apache2/error_log told me the list of the loaded modules, and PHP5 wasn't in.


Actual Results:  
View step 3.


Expected Results:  
to render the php

Comment 1 Benedikt Böhm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-21 03:45:31 UTC
mod_php5 is currently hard masked becuase of ZTS issues, but it seems 5.0.3-r2 has an experimental fix for that, and also the right location for the config file, could you please try this version and reopen if it's still wrong...
Comment 2 Sebastien M 2005-04-22 07:47:59 UTC
I tested mod_php-5.0.3-r2 and it's fixed! Thanks!
By the way, it works pretty well. 
Comment 3 Andreas Korthaus 2005-05-02 15:37:09 UTC
mod_php-5.0.3-r2.ebuild uses an incorrect configure-switch:

--enable-experimental-zts

you have to use 

--enable-maintainer-zts

instead (you should not use this switch in production enviroment!).

Why is php5-prefork.patch needed? 

It removes the following:

-  if test "$APXS_MPM" != "prefork"; then
-    PHP_BUILD_THREAD_SAFE
-  fi

But why? That code makes a lot of sense to me. Or will $APXS_MPM not be set? But why not? If I compile it by myself I have no problems with ZTS. If I don't use --enable-maintainer-zts and use prefork MPM, I get a PHP-Version without ZTS. ATM I don't see the reason for the php5-prefork.patch workaround.

I have used the mod_php-5.0.3-r2.ebuild on different servers for quite a while now, and it works perfectly. In most cases I use it with Apache 1.3, but I also tested with 2.0. Because of the security-issues with <5.0.4 I use 5.0.4 for some time in production enviroment now. mod_php-5* is masked for 2 months now, there is no official 5.0.4 ebuild, which has been released 1 month ago (including security-fixes).

You should not use mod_php with a threaded MPM at all: http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.apache2

You also should not use PHP 5.0.3: http://secunia.com/advisories/14792/ (remote access: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87471)
