php54-apache2handler not working with apache2.4-develop

[ldl@…]

I need to upgrade my MacPorts php dev system on MacOS X 10.6.8 to accommodate HostingService, which is moving to PHP 5.4 on the 27th.

I'm using XCode 4.2, the last available for Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Uninstalled all old apache2 and php53 ports, cleaned directories. sudo port install apache2.4-develop worked. After hacking the httpd.config files, I am serving html/php from my development directory.

sudo port install php54-apache2handler fails for various reasons, depending upon how I try to invoke it.

The reason why is partially explained at: ​http://trac.macports.org/ticket/41478

A discussion is at: ​http://echelog.com/logs/browse/macports/1386111600

Search for "[10:45:34] <ml_> I'm using apache24-devel" and begin reading there.

[10:45:34] <ml_> I'm using apache24-devel and i'm sick of modifying the Portfile of php54-apache2handler to avoid installing apache2 and creating libphp5.so in the wrong directory (or with wrong apxs2)
[10:45:46] *** justdave has joined #macports
[10:46:17] <neverpanic> ml_: that's a bug in php54-apache2handler, please file it as such and Cc ryandesign at macports dot org.
[10:46:41] <ml_> Well not actually a bug, just a missing option/variant that has to be added

What I have done:

Downloaded the php port file and saved it in ~/ports/lang/php Modified the source per ticket above:

#     depends_lib-append      port:apache2
#     
#     set apxs ${prefix}/apache2/bin/apxs
#     set confdir ${prefix}/apache2/conf
#     set moduledir ${prefix}/apache2/modules
    
      depends_lib-append      port:apache24-devel
    
      set apxs ${prefix}/apache2/bin/apxs
      set confdir ${prefix}/apache2/conf
      set moduledir ${prefix}/apache2/modules

I originally got errors when MacPorts could not find the modules. I modified source.config to include my local repository.

file:///Users/larrylowe/ports [nosync]
rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ [default]

Then I went to ~/ports and did a portindex, which produced this:

To confirm I had a local repository I did a:

port file php54 /Users/myusername/ports/lang/php/Portfile

Finally, I did this: sudo port install php54-apache2handler'

And got this:

Questions:

How do I create a local repository port that will compile php54-apache2handler and link to apache24-devel?

Is that even the right concept? What does it take to get these two play nice together? Why does <ml_> talk of modifying the port file every time he updates?

How to I modify the port file with a -drupal variant, which will have the additional modules I need for Drupal development and invoke it?

I depend upon MacPorts to get the job done and am willing to work at this, but I need help from the community to get php54 with specific configuration talking to Apache 2.4 so I can go back to the jungle I know.
