It seems that webapp-config silently assumes your webserver is apache by default. If a user uses lighttpd for example, this is totally incorrect. Now, this doesn't cause webapp-config to fail to emerge, but the first time you emerge any webapp, you get a big nasty error about no Apache group available, which further requires the end user to dig around the webapp-config manpage to figure out the correct file to edit *just* to get a silly php script to install in the correct location. And please, don't tell me this is a feature. It breaks noninteractivity for every "webapp" in the entire tree. -Steve -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
