mod_php installation problem, ebuild mod_php-4.2.2.ebuild co

spike · Guest

After emerge mod_php it tells me to:

ebuild /var/db/../..../mod_php-4.2.2.ebuild config

when I did this i got an error message telling me to
ebuild foo.ebuild digest

when I did this: ebuild foo.ebuild digest
!!! doebuild: foo.ebuild not found.

After some fuzzeling out of frustration

I thought it was something like:ebuild mod_php-4.2.2.ebuild digest

I again did run:ebuild /var/db/../..../mod_php-4.2.2.ebuild config
>>> md5 ;-)

php-4.2.2.tar.bz2

but after restarting apache still it only returns the php code!

Help! :roll:

This bug bothered me for days!

Solution back then was simply emerge portage-2.0.13.
But since a couple of days I've been using portage-2.0.27 and in this version it's fixed.

Version 2.0.23 and 2.0.25 were broken......

See this post for a possible solution to pkg_config issue.

spike, back to your original problem, i had the same problem ...

after doing the ebuild digest and ebuild config, you still have to tell apache to load the php module.

in /etc/conf.d/apache make suer the line about APACHE_OPTS="-D SSL -D PHP4" is uncommented

you may also have to edit the /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf file

make sure to add
LoadModule php4_module extramodules/libphp4.so

it was my understanding that emerge was supposed to fix the /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf file and you were to edit the /etc/conf.d/apache file at least this is what i thought emerge told me when i merged the php_mod ... i could be wrong. Could this be a bug in the php ebuild ?? or am i just being dumb and missing something ?

Dobs and spike, like I said, I had that digest problem too.

It went away when I installed portage-2.0.13 and now I've got portage-2.0.27 and 2.0.28 and they work flawlessly...........

crafty_c, that pkg_config problem is something different from the digest problem.....or am I wrong????

yeah that pkg_config problem is something different, you can figure it out if you go to that post mksoft mentioned earlier.

i fergot to mentiont i actually added 3 lines to my /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf file

LoadModule php4_module extramodules/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

not sure if you need all of those, but my php seems to be working fine after adding those 3 lines

it's relatively simple to figure out what the ebuild config would add to apache.conf

just open the ebuild in your favorite text editor and scroll down to the pkg_config section. Then you can copy paste those bash commands into a terminal and voila, everything will be configured for you. This way you do it manually automatic :wink:

(This was the workaround I used untill I discovered the newer portage versions didn't have this problem)
