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

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

[Daevid Vincent]

Apache was working fine in 2.0.58, then an emerge world forced an update
of apache2 to 2.2.4, now after a reboot, apache won't start!

What's the point of running a 'stable' Gentoo system if it just keeps
breaking things??!

*sigh*

It fails on 2.2.4 so I tried 2.2.6 (as it's marked stable too, and
emerge world wants to do it anyways) and it still fails.

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

[Daevid Vincent]

Seriously? Not a single other person has this issue but me?

Just because my web server has been down for an entire day due to this, I
decided, OK, I'll just remove the DAV / SVN stuff and at least get the sites
up.

I changed the line in conf.d/apache2 to:
APACHE2_OPTS="-D PHP5 -D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D LANGUAGE -D SSL -D
SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D SUEXEC -D AUTH_MYSQL"

Then took out all the *-trac.conf files from /etc/apache2/vhosts.d 

I had to recompile PHP and mod_auth_mysql as well b/c I got some other
errors.

Now I get the oh-so-helpful (not):

# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
 * Starting apache2 ...                               [ !! ]

Awesome.

# tail -f error_log

(2)No such file or directory: apache2: could not open error log file
/usr/lib/apache2/logs/bimagery-error_log.
Unable to open logs

Oh, so I look, and look at that, no directory or link, and
apache2-extramodules is a broken link to God knows where that went!

# ll /usr/lib/apache2/

apache2 # ln -vs /var/log/apache2 logs

So now apache2 at least starts. __Still no Trac/SVN__.

WHAT THE ($#*&@# IS GOING ON! WHY is Apache 2.4 forced upon me as 'stable'
when it doesn't work and breaks all these modules!?

Hmm look at the date here... what version of apache did you install this for?

Both -2.0 and -2.2 are stable, you choose.
Some major changes have occured here so read the release notes and upgrade 
guide from apache[1].

As seen later, this is the error or atleast one of the errors.

Not this one! And it was this one that apache complained about, or?
Hint; rebuild subversion, perhaps.

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

[Daevid Vincent]

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*

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

[Daevid Vincent]

LOL. Naga, I thank you for your reply. I think you were right about
subversion, I've since reverted back to 2.0.59. Had I gotten your email
a few hours earlier, I think things would be a whole lot different, but
at the moment, it's more important for me to be "up" than "current". And
my frustration level is fairly high ATM, so it's best I not attempt this
again till more "kinks" are worked out. I do appreciate your ideas, and
they will certainly come in handy in the future when I re-attempt this
down the road.
