I'm seeing this for both

Could you show me the output of:

port -v installed apache2

port -q contents apache2 | grep apxs

[BjarneDMat]

MacPro:~ root#  port -v installed apache2

Ok, looks like you're using a custom version of the apache2 port that you installed last year. Please delete whatever custom apache2 portfile you are using and upgrade to our version, which should look more like this:

$ port -v installed apache2
The following ports are currently installed:
  apache2 @2.4.29_0+preforkmpm (active) platform='darwin 16' archs='x86_64' date='2017-10-24T03:43:34-0500'

$ port -q contents apache2 | grep apxs
  /opt/local/bin/apxs
  /opt/local/share/apache2/man1/apxs.1

What's wondering me is, that it's been working !perfectly! up to and including php 7.1.10 and only fails now ?!?

OK - found out what's happening :

1) you've pulled apache2 into the mtree
2) you've updated the paths in php apache2handler to reflect this
