after merginhg and installing apache2 and mysql server guided by gentoo-wiki my dhcpcd service is broken ...

Bringing up eth0
dhcp
Runninf dhcpcd....

ERROR: problem starting needed services
"netmount" was not started.
ERROR: ............
"apache2" .............

my dhcpcd works fine until apache installation

i made:

rc-update add apache2 default

and my /etc/host is 127.0.0.1 localhost domainname

how to fix my dhcp service?

I'm fairly new to Gentoo but I'd say this is init scripts and the order of services being started. If you have a look here http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=4 you'll see some useful stuff.

A quick rc-status will show you services it should have at your runlevel - started or not - and that will give some clues. You might be able to get them up by starting manually in a suitable sequence. Apache2 and Netmount need networking up before they'll run. Hope this helps.

Oh - Try an rc-update del apache2 default as a quick test.

yeah I had a problem with that earlier....

it is just the order that stuff is started....
you might want to just put apache2 in your /etc/conf.d/local.start

that would be a rough fix.

--apache2
