Odd experience

[l0rdphi1]

Apache died a fiery death due to

[root@server1 root]# apachectl start
Syntax error on line 15 of /etc/httpd/conf/ips.conf:
Invalid command 'SSLEngine', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

Reuploaded httpd.conf and it was fixed... guess something screwed httpd.conf over?

John doesn't want us to start Apache with that

service httpd start only

 

[l0rdphi1]

Well, *that* would not even tell me why it wasn't starting.

apachetl doesnt include the parts required for SSL, therefore you get the ssl errors.

service httpd stop
service httpd start
service httpd status

Output on the last 2 please

Well, it's fixed now (see first post), but service httpd start was just complaining about SSLSomething not being implemented. Bah..

I'd say start from scratch..

rm -f configure.*
./build clean
./build update
./build all

That is normal

 

[l0rdphi1]

If this is normal, why was it a fatal error?

Hello,

When you start up apache, the way it's compiled, it needs to have all of the modules included on the command line. If they arn't passed, then they arn't loaded, thus any configuration options that use them won't work and apache will quit. The commands I'm referring to are: the -DHAVE_SSL type options.
