I've verified the module is loaded so I'm kind of stuck at he moment.

Can anyone give me some ideas of what the problem is and how to address?

Hi,

You didn't post your apache config, but from the error you get and the list of loaded modules, you miss authz_host module.
Load the missing module and restart apache.

Many thanks!

Can you help me understand what that module is doing?

ampapa,
It restricts access to a resource like Directory/Location, by IP address or hostname.
For more details, read the official apache module documentation.

Makes sense... thanks for the quick help.

You're welcome!

Apache is a very modular system. (Maybe, "too much so!" :rolleyes:) Modules hook into the service-provider loop and the processing of configuration files, such that, if a particular module is not loaded, a directive might not be understood.
