[gentoo-user] strange apache service dependency

[Enrico Weigelt]

Hi folks,


I've just seen that the apache2 service has an dependecy to 
the mysql service. Most likely it's an bug.

probably if you compile it with mysql support, it assumes it should
insist upon it.  if you desire it differently ,edit the depends line
in /etc/init.d/apache

I didn't build in any mysql-related stuff (ie. mod_auth_mysql).

I already did, had no other chance. 
When stopping mysql kills httpd, it's an very bad bug for 
production systems.

FWIW, this doesn't happen to me... however I didn't see a use flag for
mysql:

 net-www/apache-2.0.58-r2  USE="apache2 ssl -debug -doc -ldap -mpm-itk
-mpm-leader -mpm-peruser -mpm-prefork -mpm-threadpool -mpm-worker
(-selinux) -static-modules -threads"

It's not a hard dependency. It's just using it which means mysql will be 
started before apache2. Why do you think that's a bug?

I don't think so. At least on my computer, mysql is a 'use' dependency
rather than a 'need' dependency. That is, if mysql is present, it will be
started before apache, if mysql is not present, then apache starts
regardless.

Why do you think that's a bug?

Anno.
