httpd: Syntax error on line 54 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_authn_file.so into server:
/usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_authn_file.so: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory
On your slackware64 computer, a httpd.conf will have been installed that works. If it has been overwritten, just use "upgradepkg --reinstall" for the httpd package, or extract the httpd.conf file from that package manually.

when you install/upgrade a package your old configuration files won't get overwritten: they are saved as .new and you have to move in place of the old.
you have to backup your /etc/httpd/httpd.conf and then, from a root shell
