I wanted to keep my original apache 1.3 located in /usr/local/apache to keep the admintools of my datatank as is. Therefor I added the following line to the "start" option of /etc/init.d/http script. (Yes I'm running 2 apaches side by side on different ports).

...
echo "Starting APACHE 2 ..."
/opt/sbin/httpd
...

When I restarted the daemons I got the following error message: (note linenumbers may differ)

httpd: Syntax error on line 480 of /opt/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 6 of /opt/etc/apache2/conf.d/php.conf: 
Cannot load /opt/libexec/libphp5.so into server: /opt/lib/libxml2.so.2: undefined symbol: gzopen64

Fixed this gzopen64-error by updating zlib to version 1.2.5

ipkg install zlib
