Apache config file problem

'oadModule', theres your problem - one too many hits of the delete key

add the 'L' back to the beginning of the line

 

maybe in line 2 of /private/etc/httpd.conf
somewhere the "L" is missing.
Apachectl can't be wrong.
bye

vi the file and find it:

Code:

/^oadModule

then it will take you to where oadModule is at the beginning of the line. Alternatively, use grep:

Code:

grep oadModule <config file>

and look for the line missing the L.

You might also check all of the config files.

 

Why not try MAMP?

Because he already has Apache, and appears he doesn't need a database. Besides, it is a good learning experience.

 

Let the OP decide about that. ;-)

Anyway you are right about the learning experience!

To the OP: are you sure you are checking the correct httpd file for the missing "L"?

Try looking at this one:

/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

 

Do I understand you correctly, you physically examined line 2 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf and the L is there? Please post the first 10 lines of that file here so I can see line 2 and what's near it.

BTW, httpd.conf is usually in a directory called conf (short for "configuration") so you might want to run the following *nix command to find all instances of httpd.conf and see if you're editing the wrong one if more than one exists:

locate -u
locate httpd.conf

The first command updates the search database, it might take a few minutes to run. The second does the actual search which includes the paths of each instead of httpd.conf so you can see if there really is more than one.
