*UPDATED*Apache/PHP problems, searched and no results

ximmortalx · Post by **ximmortalx** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 10:31 pm

Hey guys. I think i should tell the whole story before i ask for help. Here it goes.
A while back i installed gentoox home4.0(around july05). About 2 weeks ago i decided to install apache/php. That all worked fine (used guide in tutorial section). anyway, im a noob at linux, and i messed sumthing up with mysql(trying to install that after apache), so i figured i would just delete all the linux files and re-FTP brand new gentoox files over. Everything went fine, as well as the installation, then i simply emerged sync, that also worked. Then i tryed to emerge apache mod_php. Gave me this:

Code: Select all

!!! ARCH is not set... Are you missing the /etc/make.profile symlink?
!!! Is the symlink correct? Is your portage tree complete?

So, i figured, eh must of screwed sumthing up, me being a linux noob. so i decide i guess i really dont need home and so i deleted all files, and installed pro. Install went fine, emerge sync went fine, then again, when trying to emerge apache, same error! I have been searching this forum and google for about 2 hours, and i have no idea how to fix it. I just want apache/php to work! Can any1 help me? Thanks a bunch guys.

this is not a apache problem, you need to update portage

answer from http://wiki.colinux.org/cgi-bin/GentooTAT

Problem: Arch is not set...
Solution

1. You must have a full portage tree, if not type: emerge --sync or download a portage snapshot.
2. Look at which version of gentoo you have 2004.3? 2005.1?
3. Link a profile to /etc/make.profile. Do this by typing the command "ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/$VERSION/ /etc/make.profile" , where $VERSION equals your version of gentoo. (2004.3, 2005.1, etc) If the "/usr...../$VERSION/" directory does not exist, you do not have a full portage tree.

Then just

Code: Select all

emerge mod_php

as apache is a dependent

thanks for the reply, i will defanetly try that. alothugh it says

Link a profile to /etc/make.profile. Do this by typing the command "ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/$VERSION/ /etc/make.profile" , where $VERSION equals your version of gentoo. (2004.3, 2005.1, etc) If the "/usr...../$VERSION/" directory does not exist, you do not have a full portage tree.

What version do i have? do i just enter 4.0 for home...or what?

and you said apache is a dependancy of mod_php. does that mean i should be fine just emerging mod_php, and php and apache will work? Thanks again,

ok i typed ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2.4.22-xbox-Gentoox/ /etc/make.profile

(on 2.0 pro) and it said make.profile: File exists. I also tryed to update portage by typing emerge portage but it gave me exact same arch error. any ideas?

ok i figured it out, but when i enter it it says the mke.profile thing exists. weird. I tryed to re sync, and it failed updating portage 6 times at about 52%. Any ideas?

Run magic

Code: Select all

magic

this should update portage if needed, then,

Code: Select all

emerge mod_php

this will install apache with php support

if it says make.profile exists you would have to remove the symlink i.e delete the file, then run that command (but if you have that file, why delete it)

is your disk full?

run "df"

nope, disk had about 9gigs free...i finally gave up...and installed xdsl...I dont like it half as much as i like gentoox home, but i got apache and php installed in 4minutes. Not exagerating. It was amazingly easy for a noob like me. I think gentoox is a little too "smart" for me...with all the commands and stuff. anyways, heres the server.

To each his own I suppose, thanks for trying out Gentoox.

Hey guys, sorry for al the trouble ive caused...good news and bad news...i really missed gentoox, so i did 1 last attempt. I deleted DSL, installed gentoox pro, and tryed emerge sync. well it failed just like before, but luckily i found somthing in the forums that helped me.

Code: Select all

unlink /etc/make.profile

then

Code: Select all

ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/ /etc/make.profile

So i try to emerge mod_php. It gives me a new error

Code: Select all

Calculating Dependancys!!!Cannot resolve a virtual package name to an ebuild.
!!! This is a bug, please report it.

Now, i think its a problem with php or somthing. I tried emerge apache and its working fine, its almost done actually. Does any1 have any ideas? Im really desparate.
