Actually, this problem may be more sinister ... a bug? I also updated to the latest stable and as soon as I tried to restart apache I got: ========================================= # /etc/init.d/apache2 start * apache2 has detected an error in your setup: apache2: Syntax error on line 155 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 4 of /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: libmysqlclient.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ========================================= What the ... ? Line 155 of my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf says: Include /etc/apache2/modules.d/*.conf Line 4 of /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf, says: LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so Also, I seem to have modules/libphp5.so and is world readable: $ ls -la /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5720576 Aug 13 20:09 /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so I am downgrading now before a lynch mob arrives, but has anyone else run into this problem? PS. I'm running www-servers/apache-2.2.16 -- Regards, Mick
