"sudo port install apache +apache_layout" would have given you /opt/ local/apache. However, "sudo port install apache" installs apache in other places within /opt/local. You can type "port contents apache" to see what all it installed, and from that, see where apxs is actually located on your system. I believe it should be at /opt/local/ sbin/apxs. I see now that the instructions printed by my php5 port are wrong. Sorry about that. I'm not sure, though, why the apache port gives us two different options for where to install things. This seems to make it very difficult for other ports that require apache to know what to do.
so from "/opt/local/libexec/apache" where "libphp5.so" exists, I tried both apxs's in /opt/local/, like this: % sudo /opt/local/sbin/apxs -a -e -n "php5" libphp5.so [activating module `php5' in /opt/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf] cp /opt/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf /opt/local/etc/apache/ httpd.conf.bak cp /opt/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf.new /opt/local/etc/apache/ httpd.conf rm /opt/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf.new % sudo apachectl configtest Syntax error on line 237 of /opt/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf: API module structure `php5_module' in file /opt/local/libexec/ apache/libphp5.so is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO?
Same result with % sudo /opt/local/var/macports/software/apache/1.3.37_0/opt/local/ sbin/apxs -a -e -n "php5" libphp5.so
Any idea what the problem is? The /opt/local/ versions of apache & mysql are otherwise fine and working. I have a newish MPB w/OSX 10.4.10 and latest Xcode...
from /opt/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf line 63: ServerRoot "/opt/local" line 237: LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache/libphp5.so
[snip] It looks like it may be this bug: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/2750 The bug has been open for 2 years... either this means the problem experienced only rarely, or that almost nobody uses apache 1 anymore. Personally, I recommend you use apache2.
