apache wont start anymore

[affentwin]

Hello!

I tried to enable SSL on my SLES10-SP2-64bit with 11.4.2. But the rcapache2 restart gives me:
httpd2-prefork: Syntax error on line 113 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 29 of /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib64/apache2-prefork/mod_proxy_ajp.so into server: /usr/lib64/apache2-prefork/mod_proxy_ajp.so: undefined symbol: proxy_module
So, i tried to move back, to work without SSL, but the error still persists. Maybe YaST (enable SSL) changed a bit more, than it should?

Any help is welcome!

Thanks!

Can you post your /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf?

Hello everybody!

After one week without an usefull reply, i am a bit disapointed!
But that doesn't help and i decided to make a new installation on this maschine.
I removed the whole stuff and the new installation went smooth again (because the 32-bit libs are still in place!). But then, you may know what happend, the Apache don't start...
Instead i get: apache2 restart -- failed with error code 1; results:
ERROR Syntax error on line 5 of /etc/opt/scalix-tomcat/connector/ajp/instance-imail.conf:
ERROR Invalid command 'SSLEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Okay, it is my mistake, to forget to remove all the SSL files from the old installation.
So, i tried to configure Apache to support SSL. But this time without YaST!!
I only changed 2 lines in the /etc/sysconfig/apache2:
1. append the line "APACHE_MODULES=" with "ssl"
2. i put "SSL" in the "APACHE_SERVER_FLAGS="
And after a "rcapache2 start" everything works fine! My new Scalix Installation now works with http and https!

So, i would say, don't use YaST to configure Apache for SSL!
And, maybe it's better to configure Apache for SSL before installing scalix!?
From my experience, the installer recognize this and works fine!?

Maybe someone else is willing to test this out!?

Thank you for your attention!

Frank
