Hi,

Seems that the latest build is riddled with issues. Follow the setups below.

1. create the folder "/etc/apache2/conf/ssl"
2. (re)emerge apache
3. create the folder "/usr/lib/apache2/logs"
4. create the folder "/var/cache/apache2"
5. Un-comment APACHE2_OPTS="-D SSL" in "/etc/conf.d/apache2".
6. /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

stole the steps from this post https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=264542&highlight=sslcertificatefile[/code]

#cd /usr/lib/ssl/apache2-mod_ssl/
#./gentestcrt.sh

answer the questions....

#cp server* /etc/apache2/conf/ssl/

then restart apache2

Problem is: you are using reiser4

It does _not_ work with that filesystem! You need ext3 or similar.

Okay. Well, then I am out of ideas...

I think I was a bit too quick in responding, since I now recall that the problem only exists for .htaccess files.

Hope you can solve it...

I just deleted the logs file and recreated it as a folder. Huttah, the thing worked.

the log error was probably due to a missing /var/log/apache2 dir.

/usr/lib/apache2/logs was most likely a link to /var/log/apache2
like on mine:

in
/usr/lib/apache2
ls -l shows
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Dec 25 12:33 logs -> /var/log/apache2

I had to create /var/log/apache2.

I bet you have no apache2 logs going to /var/log now and that they are found in /usr/lib/apache2/logs.

you can fix it by recreating the link and creating the dir in /var/log.

check the /var/log/apache2 directory.
I had to create it...
perms on mine are:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 26 14:11 apache2

you have to create /logs in /var/log/apache2 folder as well.

sorry skyfolly, but I don't believe this is so.

if you create the folder that the link points to then all of the files are found in /var/log/apache2, not /var/log/apache2/logs.

access_log error_log etc. will be in /var/log/apache2.

At least its that way on my box.

I did have to create /var/log/apache2 though.
