I have no experience on how apache is configured on gentoo, but here is what you could try: Check that the conf files under /etc/apache2/modules.d/ are loaded into the server. Are there other files in that directory? If yes, are the modules they refer to loaded? If there are files, but the corresponding modules are not loaded, write something like Include /etc/apache2/modules.d/* in the main apache config file. If there are other files and the modules are loaded, just your module is not, then there's a problem with your LoadModule configuration directive. Paths like modules/mod_helloworld.so (that is without a forward slash at the beginning) are relative to the ServerRoot. Check the ServerRoot directive in your apache main conf file. Check how the other modules specified their paths. In order to avoid any ambiguity, put the absolute path, i.e. something like /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_helloworld.so (a path that starts with a forward slash). On debian apache's main conf file (the file from which all the other are included) is /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. I don't know which is the main conf file on gentoo. It should be either /etc/apache2/apache2.conf or /etc/apache2/httpd.conf but it depends on how the apache compilation was configured.
