Apache updated - php broken...

epig · Tux's lil' helper Joined: 16 Feb 2005 Posts: 88

So I do an emerge -upD world on my test-box today (the one with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" in make.conf) and find that /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf has been replaced by /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

I edit that to my specs, and restart apache, but now it abslolutely refuses to recognize php.....

I have tried to re-emerge php, gone through all the files, made sure that everything is correct. I the only file I made changes to was /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Am I the ony one with this problem? Wouldn't be the first time, but I tought I would check...

A telnet localhost 80 gives the following output:

This is because mod_php ebuild needs to be updated to work with the new apache herd refresh. I think there should have been a big fat warning about this as anyone emerging and restarting apache now will have a no working php! until php ebuilds been updated.

I just emerged apache and was lucky to figure out this before I restarted, so right now I simply can't restart apache or I loose php and the functionallity of my sites.

I think this need to be made sticky or there will soon be a flood of crying about none working php!

As affected by it I think you also should file a bug to put it to the php maintainers attention, although I really hope there have been some kind of communication between them and the apache herd and imho this should not have been unmasked until php was done as well as almost everybodu depends on its fuctionality.

Yes. I agree. I had the same problem. I was just about searching to fix it.

Does this apply?

Joining the club of broken apache owners

The configuration file also changed from /etc/apache2/conf/* to /etc/apache2/*. (and apache2.conf -> httpd.conf)

Apache2 location changed (i think)? so all apache stuff is broken (subversion webdav, mod_python, ...) ? i get a "module".so not found after reemerge og php, mod_php, subversion, mod_python.

Please read this document before upgrading Apache to unstable. Do it now or suffer later... :!:

While I understand the implications, and don't even really need PHP support anytime soon, does anyone have a relative timeframe of when mod_php will be rewritten? In any case, looks like I picked a good time to completely redo my installation of Gentoo, so my configuration files were all bare anyways.

Yeah gotta agree, when I noticed the "warning" I had incorrectly assumed the apache herd had actually bothered to make sure some of the important modules "work" or at least still functioned regardless of the upgrade.

Don't get me wrong I realize I'm not paying anything for this distro and well support is up to those willing to do the support. I just wish they had actually gotten everybody on board before releasing to unstable since clearly this and other mod_something's not working is a rather serious bug that doesn't need further testing to actually catch.

This version of apache gets hard masked in my /etc/portage for the moment

That new unstable apache version should be hard masked until they get php working with it.

OK, you all are saying how important you webservers are, so don´t upgrade you production servers to unstable software versions - even without doing the prior required reading.

Fortunately I didn't upgrade more than my laptop which exists as my test bed environment. That I was planning on doing php development last night didn't help matters, though the hard masking of apache-2.0.52-r3 and downgrading fixed my problem.

This forum heck the whole reason for the boards is for community people to interact together and give each other tips and heads up. Specifically when these tips or warnings have not been fully fleshed out by the developers, for after all they aren't perfect nor should they be expected to be. That doesn't stop us the normal users from chipping in when we can.

Again I'm not complainiing that this event happened more how it happened. Clearly reading through the bugs related to mod_php (#77556 specifically) it shows that this release caught at least a few people unprepared but the apache herd decided to go ahead with the unmasking even though at least the php herd wasn't prepared to implement the new strategy.

Here's a quick temporary fix to this problem:

One other thing... :-)

For some reason, after doing the fix above, Apache was returning null files no matter what I tried to access. In /var/log/apache2/error_log I found many lines like the following:

Actually if you count the people with important webservers, you get "all == 1"

works not

or should I say not really...

I've done the fixes above with php4 and -- the module loads! If I enter http://localhost/bogusurl apache
says ssl and php are loaded

But damn, my browser keeps downloading any files ending .php

AddType application x-httpd-php .php does not help

No idea what I got to change to make this work, can't be too difficult hm? (Im not exactly an apache-freak)

Non PHP files work, get displayed, render all fine.

Now, just referenced some info.php file -- uh! works!

So PHP IS working but, strange enough, some index.php do NOT work.
Firefox wants to save them with mime-type "phtml" -- but referenced directly
they too work.

localhost/test/ -- saves some type of phtml file with a funny name (

like 4ee325)
localhost/test/index.php -- works fine

and my directoryindex of course knows index.php
