That file is your problem you can turn that mod off by editing your httpd.conf file to look like this
code said:
#LoadModule log_forensic_module libexec/httpd/mod_log_forensic.so
Click to expand...
find the line LoadModule log_forensic_module libexec/httpd/mod_log_forensic.so and add a # in front of it

that should solve you problem, but also turn off forensic logging of client requests on your server, if you need that you may have to reinstall apache.
 
i cannot seem to find that file.
would do you have any idea what file it will be located in
 
Have you tried commenting out the need for it, as suggested by macmanmatty? Then httpd wont look for it anymore.
 
what version of mac os are you using.* that can make a difference in the web server setup.* I'm wondering if its old because your UI looks a little different.* (or is it just a theme?)
 
found the file opened in in multiple programs the best seemed to be JEdit but no matter what i seem do i cannot seem to save the file after i edit it

I have also found the file.

Are you logged in as admin or root? are the permissions of the file set to read&write for at least the system? If not then you won't be able to save the file.
 
i am using a program called shapeshifter could that change the UI and stop the filesharing from working

i also logged in as root user using netinfo manager i still cant seem to edit the file right now i am using xcode

what i still dont get is why i can find the file in the location but my computer wont open it

Sweet jesus, what are you doing running root.
 
1) Open up Terminal
2) sudo pico /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
3) ctrl+w
4) type "forensic" to search
5) Put a # in front of the line: "LoadModule log_forensic_module modules/mod_log_forensic.so"
6) ctrl+o, enter
 
i changed the httpd.conf file and the mod_log_forensic.so is now commented out.
The crash report now says however both of these files i can find both of these in the places they should be.


fopen: No such file or directory
httpd: could not open document config file /private/etc/httpd/users/*.conf
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
 
what should i do to fix the error and would it be worth it to reinstall apache i have hashed out 3 other logs using the same method the lines are 241, 277, 285
