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

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.

Regards

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

Apache is a very modular system. (Maybe, "too much so!" ) 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.
