mod_php not emerge-ing properly with multiple apaches

[mr-simon]

I'm trying to install mod_php into apache1 and apache2.

I have both apaches installed and working (different ports, obviously) and have both "apache" and "apache2" in my USE flags.

I am attempting to emerge mod_php as follows:

perhaps I'm wrong, but to manually correct this you can just copy libphp4.so from the one extramodules folder to the folder of the other version, or just make sure your setting in the apache config is specific to the file location. As long as you have the correct line in your apache2 config as to the location of your libphp4.so it doesn't really matter whether or not the file is in the "default" location that it would be put if emerged for that specific version.

for my apache2 config I have libphp4.so in these locations:

/usr/lib/apache2-extramodules/libphp4.so
/etc/apache2/extramodules/libphp4.so

my apache2.conf has these lines added to make it work:

Aye, I did this and everything seemed okay.

Still, would be nice for the ebuilds to work as advertised... I get a funny feeling that I'll end up forgetting about this and breaking something, next time I upgrade php!

upon further inspection i realized there is a folder created by php with default copies of configs specific to the apache version

/etc/php/apache2-php4/

more specifically, it contains the two libraries libphp4.so and mod_ssl.so along with php.ini. But like i said before, it doesnt matter where the libphp4.so is located. i also found a copy of php.ini the

/etc/apache2/conf/php.ini

so, as long as that php.ini file is in your apache2 conf folder and you have the correct lines in your apache2.conf you should be fine.

Another alternative which I think is kind of a dirty way of doing it, would be to emerge mod_php for the older apache, then remove its existance from the world file, and emerge for apache2. at least from what I know, that would make it think that mod_php wasnt already installed and would therefore not remove it when it was emerged for apache2.

just my two cents
