Apache2 /etc/apache2/mod_log_config error on line #11

Axeia · #1 (**permalink**) 05-Apr-2009, 14:01

Not sure what happened, rebooted my PC, wonder why apache isn't running.. so I tried to start it with "rcapache2 start" as root and get

Code:

Starting httpd2 (prefork) Syntax error on line 11 of /etc/apache2/mod_log_config.conf:
Invalid command 'LogFormat', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

The command line was:
/usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
                                                                      failed

So I open up the file in question and don't see anything wrong with it.. though I've no clue as to what it should look like.
Contents are as follows:

Code:

#
# The following directives define some format nicknames for use with
# a CustomLog directive.
#
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.2/mod/mod_log_config.html
#

#
#         Format string:				Nickname:
#
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b"			common
LogFormat "%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b"		vhost_common
LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U"				referer
LogFormat "%{User-agent}i"				agent
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \
\"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""			combined
LogFormat "%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \
\"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""			vhost_combined

# To use %I and %O, you need to enable mod_logio
<IfModule mod_logio.c>
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \
\"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" %I %O"		combinedio
</IfModule>

# Use one of these when you want a compact non-error SSL logfile on a virtual
# host basis:
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
Logformat "%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \
\"%r\" %b"						ssl_common
Logformat "%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \
\"%r\" %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""		ssl_combined
</IfModule>

Line 11 is the first logFormat (common)

The syntax is correct. First of all go to

Code:

vi /etc/sysconfig/apache2

and look for the line that begins with

Code:

APACHE_MODULES

There must be

Code:

log_config

in that line. The vi command you may replace with any other editor you like.

That worked thanks, didn't get me a whole lot further though

Code:

Module "TypesConfig" is not installed, ignoring.
Check the APACHE_MODULES setting in /etc/sysconfig/apache2.
Starting httpd2 (prefork) Syntax error on line 139 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'TypesConfig', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

The command line was:
/usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Tried adding TypesConfig to the same line but that didn't change anything so I changed it back.
(didn't really expect it to either seeing as it uses caps as seperators instead of underscores)

Any way to reset the defaults? Think somehow running the command:
aen2mod mod_deflate
and then starting the YaST webserver module messed things up, only got

Code:

APACHE_MODULES="deflate php5 config_log"

in /etc/sysconfig/apache2. Think there should be quite a bit more in there?

Code:

# apache's default installation

That's the default in my sysconfig. For TypesConfig you need mod_mime I think. I'm not 100% sure but give it a shot.

Pasted the line and got.

Code:

Uff.. wonder what's going on.

If you pasted that line in with the # in front, then it would have no effect, as it's a comment. You need far more modules than three of four. Look at the sample line provided and use that, adding php5.

Ye, left the comment character out.

I managed to fix it.. be it in a somewhat silly way (pulling in 220MB of software for probably some textfile changes).
Set YaST software management to patterns, selected LAMP server and forced a "upgrade unconditionally".

PHP5 was yet again disabled, so I enabled it via YaST control center > Network Services > HTTP Server. (followed by a rcapache2 restart)

Thanks for the help.

Seems your Apache is broken. Order is part of the auth module which is part of the basic installation of Apache. I think the best solution is to reinstall the Apache server and begin from the scratch. You can force the zypper to install the apache again without uninstall it with:

Code:

zypper in -f apache2

Make a backup of your config files before doing so.

I'm having similar problem. Running openSUSE 11.0 on Lenovo 3000 N100.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled apache2 3 times using YAST, to no avail. Installed from YAST:

apache2
apaches-devel
apache2-doc
apache2-example-pages
apache2-mod_Apparmor
apache2-mod_php5
apache2-mod_tidy
apache2-prefork
apache2-utils

This is the response I get when I run "rcapache2 start":

Quote:

linux-pczd:/home/eric # rcapache2 start
Module "include" is not installed, ignoring.
Check the APACHE_MODULES setting in /etc/sysconfig/apache2.
Module "log_config" is not installed, ignoring.

Module "status" is not installed, ignoring.

Starting httpd2 (prefork) Syntax error on line 11 of /etc/apache2/mod_log_config.conf:

All the supposedly missing modules seem to be installed:

Quote:

# your settings
APACHE_MODULES="authz_host actions alias auth_basic authz_groupfile authn_file authz_user autoindex cgi dir include log_config mime negotiation setenvif status userdir asis imagemap php5 authz_default"

Make sure that's one long line, not broken into two lines. Also make sure it's the only active line that sets APACHE_MODULES and any others are commented out (the last one wins).
