RE: [gentoo-user] apache2 2.2.x fails to start due to mod_dav_svn.so

["Daevid Vincent" <daevid@daevid.com>]

I've wasted two precious days now on this.
I'm reverting back to good old apache 2.0.59.

I found this link that might help other's
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-580341-highlight-apache.html

Why does mod_auth_mysql REQUIRE apache 2.2 ?!?! UGH!

I added this to my package.mask file:

>=www-servers/apache-2.0.99
>=www-apache/mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0-r2

And ran:

emerge -av apache mod_auth_mysql php subversion

Thank God I have daily backups of all my /etc dir.

A few ideas that I thought about that may help someone (or me even in a
few months when I am no doubt forced to upgrade apache [again]) is that
I think that you need to re-emerge the following things to get this all
working, not to mention all the config files you have to touch, and
broken links to fix:

apache
php
mod_auth_mysql
subversion

While hindsight is 20/20, it really would have been helpful if the
ebuild script triggered this, or a revdep-rebuild did or SOMETHING was
smart enough to look for all the apache2 related stuff and re-compile.

Someone in that link above offered a solution:

# for i in $(qdepends -CNQ www-servers/apache); do emerge $i; done

However, I don't have this "qdepends" thing, so that wasn't very
helpful, but I think he's on the right track...

-su: qdepends: command not found
# eix qdepends
No matches found.

I have a suspicion that subversion is the key to the initial error I had
re: mod_dav_svn. That may seem obvious now, it wasn't when my production
server went down. Yeah, you can give me all your finger pointing about
"you should have done a test server", etc... Well, some of us are a
one-man shop with ONE server, and some VMWares who are trying to
maintain a semi-stable system, while actually doing their real work. One
"assumes" that "stable" means just that, Lord knows it takes forever for
a package to actually be marked as such, you'd think it was worth the
wait...

...now to figure out why hostapd is taking a crap on my face, ... Oh and
why KDE is broken ... *sigh*
