apachectl configtest ... blah
 
i had a working version of apache a little earlier today, but i followed a recommendation to get phpBB and ran into a bit of trouble :)

i just had a basic apache version, no perl, no php - so i had to install that (in that order).

i began with perl5.005_03 and php 4.0.6. perl seemed to have installed fine, but php had a little trouble. it worked, but my php pages aren't coming out in php. so i decided to see if this was an apachectl restart issue and tried that.

that's when i saw that there were problems.

first, i got the following error (when running configtest as instructed)

./apachectl configtest
Syntax error on line 332 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'Order', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included
in the server configuration

i checked on google for this problem and saw that the solution was to insert the following line in httpd.conf:

LoadModule access_module /libexec/mod_access.so

that was fine, but i then got more errors when trying to restart httpd:

[Tue Jul 17 01:15:43 2001] [warn] Loaded DSO libexec/mod_access.so uses plain Ap
ache 1.3 API, this module might crash under EAPI! (please recompile it with -DEA
PI)
Syntax error on line 474 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'LogFormat', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not incl
uded in the server configuration

so i'm sure i'll run into a loop here, and i don't know what to do at this point. i've tried reinstalling apache to no avail.

can someone please give me step by step instructions on how to fix this? it seems to have worked before. i can't figure out why it's not working now.

thanks.

Post your httpd.conf file, that way we can have a look at whats up. That module you've change (mod_access) did you just change httpd.conf of have you downloaded someone elses module? From the error it sounds like the module was built for an older Apache API

cheers

i didn't change mod_access. i just added that line. it's not there in the httpd.conf file below, however (i commented it out). this is the file that i'm using with the Order error. note that i added mod_access.c to the bottom; i can't figure out where a more appropriate place is for it. it's also commented out right now (using it and mod_access.so only causes more problems).

..and having no patience is bad. i'm seriously considering uninstalling apache, perl, and php.

(my server is up, but the text right now is not even in english.)

thoughts on what may be wrong? (just so i know that i'm not the only one who has page views on this thread. :) )

Here what I've got in my httpd.conf (just bits of it)
Code:

LoadModule auth_module        libexec/mod_auth.so
...
LoadModule php4_module        libexec/libphp4.so
...
AddModule mod_auth.c
AddModule mod_auth_anon.c
AddModule mod_auth_dbm.c
...
AddModule mod_php4.c
...

    Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Indexes
    AllowOverride None
    FancyIndexing off
</Directory>

#
# Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow
# particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as
# you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it
# below.
#

#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#

#
# This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",
# "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews".
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI

#
# This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can
# override. Can also be "All", or any combination of "Options", "FileInfo",
# "AuthConfig", and "Limit"
#
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Options

#

#
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/lib/apache/htdocs/resources">
  AuthName        "Jamie's Server"
  AuthType        Basic
  AuthUserFile    /var/lib/apache/auth/passwd
  AuthGroupFile  /dev/null

  require valid-user
</Directory>
...
    #
    # And for PHP 4.x, use:
    #
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

And my php and user authentication works fine. But it seems pretty similar to yours on the allow,deny front. What other modules do you have loading and do they work?

cheers

well, all i've got is what i posted. i'm not really sure what half of them do.

do you suggest that i just uninstall and then reinstall apache?

actually, if you're able, can you show me the complete list of LoadModule / AddModule combinations you have so i can check what should be there?

thanks :)

Which line is 332?

punt 07-18-2001 11:23 AM

332 was this:

# THIS IS WHERE MY ERROR BEGINS:
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.

Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

i just decided to uninstall/reinstall apache, and it worked. php and perl are looking good too. :)
