Hi
On my Laptop i have kernel 3.10.7-gentoo-r1, NetworkManager 0.9.8.8 and apache 2.2.25, and i use OpenRC (not systemd)

Whenever the WiFi is disconnected, NetworkManager goes into an inactive state and kills the NetworkManager.

I can't start apache manually when NetworkManager is inactive:
Code:
jody@raven ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
 * WARNING: dnsmasq is scheduled to start when NetworkManager has started
 * WARNING: dnsmasq is scheduled to start when NetworkManager has started
 * WARNING: netmount is scheduled to start when NetworkManager has started
 * WARNING: apache2 is scheduled to start when NetworkManager has started


I am currently working on a local web app on my laptop, and I also want to work on it when i don't have access to a LAN.

So the question is: how can i run apache when the NetworkManager is inactive or stopped?

Thanks
Jody

/etc/rc.conf
Code:
rc_apache2_need="!net"

Thanks - this works.

NetworkManager doesn't kill apache anymore when i disconnect it from the LAN.

apache does, however, try to start NetworkManager when it is started itself.
But this is ok - the NetworkManaer is in state "inactive" but apache runs nonetheless.

Thank you
Jody
