httpd stopped - cannot restart

[srqwebguy]

httpd service stopped yesterday on one of our DA machines. Based on information elsewhere on this forum, from a situation that sounded similar, we rebuilt apache, which generated the following message upon conclusion:

Stopping httpd:                                            [FAILED]
Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 18 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: module version_module is built-in and can't be loaded

httpd still will not restart, even after reboot. Last item in the httpd error log reads "[notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down"

Any idea what might be causing this?

System info:
Apache 2.2.27 *** Stopped ***
DirectAdmin 1.46.3 Running
Exim 4.76 Running
MySQL 5.5.31 Running
Named 9.8.2rc1 Running
ProFTPd 1.3.4b Running
sshd Running

Php 5.3.28 Installed

FYI - We commented out the LoadModule line indicated in the above error message and rebooted the machine. That seems to have fixed our issue. We are suspecting we fixed the original problem with the rebuild, but created a potential conflict with a newer version of apache.

That is just a WAG however.
