The details below are probably overkill. I've fixed the OpenSSL residual false package issue which has reduced warnings, and disabling mod.php in httpd.conf got the server working but with the following oddities:
Enabling mod.php (5.2.4) still causes Apache to fail on startup as below.Disabling mod.php gets Apache running, but it doesn't, only since the update, read the virtual hosts section of httpd.conf. It is clearly reading the config file and configtest says "Syntax OK."
I did a portupgrade -ra to 1.3.39 and after a reboot found apache not running. I've poked around and haven't found much that's useful - signal 11 being sometimes associated with memory errors (a memory test comes up fine, though it is unlikely that an update would crack the RAM). Otherwise few hints. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
The key details are - pkg_version -v -L = showed (among other updates simultaneously applied as listed below) that:
apache+mod_ssl-1.3.37+2.8.28 < needs updating (port has 1.3.39+2.8.30) After rebooting I get in /var/log/messages only kernel: pid 1127 (httpd), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) and in /var/log/httpd-error.log only [info] mod_unique_id: using ip addr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [correct localhost address]every time I "apachectl start" (and after setting apache.config log level to "debug")
The same portupgrade -ra also updated the following (and then a long day of compiling ensued) - note that the openSSL package error is a problem I haven't been able to fix since screwing up an openSSL install effort (overwrite_base somehow becoming a package rather than a directive). OpenSSL has worked fine on the system and currently works, viz:
# openssl OpenSSL> version OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007(I seem to have fixed the OpenSSL extra port by deleting the stub directory that I accidently created a long time ago).
