Once you are familiar with portage, emerge and USE flags, you can do a "pretend" emerge to see what USE flags are available for apache and mod_php "emerge -pv apache mod_php". Since you have read the manual, you will know how to set the appropriate options to get the configuration you desire. Good luck, Craig -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
