Apache is starting, yet it isn't

I used www.apachetoolbox.com to install Apache with php, mysql, etc. I configured everything in httpd.conf and when I "apachectl start" it, it says it started. Here comes the weird part: It doesn't STAY that way. It will immediately stop the process after it starts. I've tried many things and I have no clue what to do here. Ideas?

Why not simply emerge apache & mod_php ?

If you do this, than read the ebuilds, they contain some info for the config, and you're up'n'running in no time.

I think that's part of the problem. I originally did that and had no clue how to get mod_php to actually work. I'll read a bit and try again though. Fun time.

On a side note, how difficult is it to get mysql working with apache as well?

PS: If you can't tell I'm fairly newbish at Gentoo/Linux in general. I know a few things but certainly I've not even scratched the surface of the power of Linux.

Edit: I got the emerged version running, but php is not working. I emerged mod_php and did the stuff it told me to do at the end, but still no go. I've been trying to get php working for a hell of a long time now, it shouldn't be this hard...

Edit 2: I think I got it working finally *phew*. Now I get to make mysql work

Well, I'd like to tell you how I got it working in a really technical way, but my way isn't really technical. It just did. I don't know why. I just unpacked it and ran the install.sh and went through its configuration and it just worked.

On a side note, I got everything working on the php/mysql end, now I just need to figure out sendmail...

here's a guide on the emerge way of doing it

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=39805

worked for me by also adding the -java USE flag

I had trouble figuring it out this way at first (without that guide) also but I regret not having done it that way now
