Comment (by mschamschula@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:
 > I don't really intend to add a new ${php}-apache24handler subport;
 rather, I intend for the work that has been done on the apache24-devel
 port be moved back into the apache2 port eventually, at which point the
 ${php}-apache2handler port (and all other ports that use apache2) will
 need to be updated for the new paths.

 So do you propose to move apache24-devel so it violates the mtree as does
 apache2? If not, apache2 needs to be installed into the same paths as
 apache24-devel.

 Otherwise, the current ${php}-apache2handler can only be installed for
 apache2, and I'll have to keep building from my local Portfile, and wish
 others running apache24-develgood luck, as I don't want to break the
 subport for ${php}-apache2handler.

 I don't want to have ${php}-apache2handler install apache2 when I try to
 update ${php} (as has happened once), since I inadvertently overwrote my
 locally modified Portfile. This creates quite a little mess.


 > Why would it matter that mod_${php}.so doesn't have the executable bit?
 It ''isn't'' an executable; it's a dynamic library; it ''shouldn't'' have
 the executable bit.

 I double checked, and sure enough it works without the chmod. However, do
 a ls -l on the apache2/modules directory. You'll find mod_${php}.so is the
 only one that does not have executable bits set. Maybe the apache24-devel
 installer is doing something wrong…

 > The way you've written the new documentation is not the way I envisioned
 users solving that problem. Instead, they should edit their httpd.conf and
 include the file mod_${php}.conf that the ${php}-apache2handler port
 installs. This information should be added to the notes; it has been
 requested many times before. If the mod_${php}.conf file doesn't contain
 all the necessary directives, they should be added.

 I am aware that the documentation is not ideal. It was the best I could do
 after spending the better part of the day trying to find a way to get
 ${php}-apache2(4)handler installed on my machine. I just wanted to make
 others aware of the issues I ran into.
