That missing 5 is important - thanks. Then, however, I got this: * apache2 has detected an error in your setup: apache2: Syntax error on line 149 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: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory That's after emerge -Cv apache and removing by hand all files and directories left behind by emerge. Same with php. Then I reinstalled both apache and php but without using the packages I had and all came right - thanks Stéphane. This is connected with the other thread I've written to today, about using my workstation as an emerge server. A complication I didn't mention there is that both make.conf and package.use have to be identical in the chroot and the target system nfs-mounted under it. I must have got them out of step at some stage. Incidentally, apache is wrong to complain of syntax errors - they're errors of configuration, not syntax. -- Rgds Peter
