mod_php no longer loads after apache update [solved]

I updated apache2 today, and found a few new things. Pretty sure my issue relates to the change from apache2.conf to httpd.conf

1) Everything's been moved from apache2.conf to httpd.conf. Good, but I'm not sure what's been moved where...
2) mod_php no longer loads (see below)
3) I cannot re-compile mod_php, since the stable version of that conflicts with the stable version of apache2. I WAS able to update just "php" to 4.4.0-r1, but it didn't fix anything.

I'll post whatever output you guys need... I do have "-D PHP4" in all the appropriate places and have restarted apache, but whenever I visit a PHP file, Firefox wants to download it, not show it, so mod_php isn't loading.

php 4.4.0-r1
mod_php 4.4.0
apache2 2.0.54-r31

All running on hardened gentoo, x86.

Hello,

everything purely apache related has been moved to httpd.conf, you are right about that part. But extensions like mod_php are in /etc/apache2/modules.d. There is a pretty good chance that the mod_php config file has not been installed there, but still resides in /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d. Copy it over manually if you still have it and you should be just fine. The -D PHP4 needs not to be inserted at all appropriate places, but just in /etc/conf.d/apache2.
If you don't have the the mod_php config file in /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/, just unmerge and reemerge mod_php completly. Afaik only necessary config files will be emerged during a version update, so that might be the reason why it is not in the new location already.

For mod_php to work with the new Apache releases, you need to use the unstable (4.4.0-r3) mod_php package, since it's the only one compatible with the new Apache config layout, but it's not unstable as in "does not work", it's the same as the stable mod_php package, just with changed configuration paths.

Well, I emerged mod_php... but it's still not loading... FF still tries to download the php file.

*edit* Gonna play around in the config files for a while...

Yeah, it's still not loading.... any ideas? What needs to go where in order for the mod_php module to be loaded? What file do I check to make sure it is being loaded at all?

You're supposed to put that option in /etc/conf.d/apache2

Mine says

Wow. I can't read. Must be the stress of PHP not working.

I added that, but it still doesn't work.

I have the following versions of everything installed:
mod_php-4.4.0-r3
php-4.4.0-r1
apache-2.0.54-r31

I added the -D PHP4 in the conf.d/apache2 file now.

Any other ideas?

I'm sorry. It is working. My browser was using the broken page from its cache. Thanks for the help.

Doing a shift-click (force cache bypass) doesn't fix mine. Suggestions?

I have problem whith compilling mod_php-4.4.0-r3:

Hi, I've had a similar problem some time ago.
Please post the content of /etc/make.conf, so I may see if the problem is there.
Best regards, CHTEKK.

Hmm ok then this is not the same problem I had.

Mine was a -mtune=i686 that conflicted with the -march=pentium3, or at least that's what fixed it for me (deleting the mtune I added for tests).
-O3 may be a possibility, try with -O2, but that should not make much difference.
Can you take a look at the config.log that gets created when attempting to emerge the package? This normally is in /var/tmp/portage/<package>/work/<package>/config.log after a failed attempt at emerging a package.
Try to post only relevant parts of it, like where the word "error" pops up, since normally those files are really long.

Best regards, CHTEKK.
