Hello,This is my first week with Gentoo. I'm running Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 on a x86_64 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz. I have Apache 2.0.58 installed. I would like to install mod_proxy. I need it. When I do a emerge --search mod_proxy, all I get is : * www-apache/mod_proxy_html [ Masked ] Latest version available: 2.5.1 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of files: 8 kB Homepage: http://apache.webthing.com/mod_proxy_html/ Description: An Apache2 DSO to rewrite links in html pages behind a reverse proxy License: GPL-2 So it looks like I cannot install mod_proxy through emerge. Do I need to recompile Apache? Or is there another way? If I need to recompile Apache, how can I know which options where used for the original installation of Apache? I would like to keep the exact same config + mod_proxy. Any help would be much-much-much appreciated! Thanks in advance, Thomas.
Your analogy is incorrect. I'd suggest reading the Gentoo handbook about package masking/unmasking. You also should read about USE Flags, so you can set which flags you'd like to use. As far as I know Apache uses the following by default: USE="ldap ssl -apache2 -debug -doc -mpm-itk -mpm-leader -mpm-peruser -mpm-prefork -mpm-threadpool -mpm-worker (-selinux) -static-modules -threads". Select which you'd prefer. If only you cared to study a little. Best regards. Avaricen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
