Bug 92308 – mod_perl (M~) installs to the wrong directory

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description A. Person 2005-05-11 15:05:27 UTC]

I updated apache2 to the new layout as described here:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~vericgar/doc/apache-package-refresh.html

but mod_perl-1.99.17-r1 installs mod_perl.so to:

/usr/lib/apache2-extramodules/

instead of:

/usr/lib/apache2/modules/

The output in /var/log/portage verifies this.  Copying the module over to the proper location fixes it.  I also noticed that the paths in:

/etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/75_mod_perl.conf

still reference the old apache2 structure.  How can I find out if I'm actually running 1.99.17-r1 at this point?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge mod_perl (M~)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
mod_perl.so installed to /usr/lib/apache2-extramodules/

Expected Results:  
mod_perl.so installed to /usr/lib/apache2/modules/

Same problem here. Again.

Created attachment 63666 [details]
updated ebuild to install mod_perl.so under /usr/lib/apache2/modules

Created attachment 63668 [details]
updated 75_mod_perl.conf to reflect mod_perl.so now living under /usr/lib/apache2/modules

This change *will* break all previous ebuilds.	It might be best to rename the
file.

Please test the 2.0.1 install that just went into the tree and let me know if
that works for you (catching up on the mod_perl bugs, so the changes were made
without knowing about the attachments in this bug - sorry)
