Hi List,
The other day my LAN server had an upgrade to PHP, from 5.4.17 to 5.5. Next
time apache restarted, it couldn't because it was looking for
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp.5.so. The library seemed to be in place, but
in fact it was a broken symlink to /usr/lib/php5.4/apache2/libphp.5.so.
Running revdep-rebuild failed to find the problem (though it did find a problem
with cairo, so I didn't mind the time spent). I had to remerge PHP myself to
fix it.
Just a little cautionary tale.

Regards,
Peter
PS. Apache reported the problem as a syntax error in its config files, but
there was nothing wrong with the syntax - the problem was a missing file. Not
expected behaviour.

I had the same symptom. Just as I was about to manually remove the old and
create my own new symlinks, I remembered that these days eselect looks after
such things. So I used eselect to declare php-cli, apache2 and some such
links. Restarted apache and all worked fine.
