PHP doesn't work anymore

nyk · 10-05-2004, 10:18 AM

I have a gentoo server on which I installed apache2 and php with emerge.
PHP worked well in apache until I did an "emerge -u world" followed by the cursed etc-update, that somehow always **** up one or the other config file...
Now I just see the php source code when I look at the page...

I guess I have to load the mod_php module in apache.conf, but I have no idea what it could be called and what other things have to be added back...
Can anybody help?

nyk: could you please edit your post for content?

ok, it edited... sorry!

the solution was:
add
APACHE2_OPTS="-D PHP4"
to
/etc/conf.d/apache2

(stupid not to have seen it, but got the answer in gentoo forum...)

Out of curiousity - what will happen to your /etc/conf.d/apache2 file when you your next update?

If I don't make a misstake with etc-update again, it should be ok... (I will yust leave it the unchanged.)
but etc-update seems just a bit confusing to me... ok, I am new to gentoo, so I guess next time it might work..
