I'm having the same problem and I know that none of the solutions provided so far will work. I do have apache-common installed. I went to the lengths of commenting out the ExtendedStatus line in httpd.conf and then got a similar syntax error on the first "Order" directive. I commented that out and got further syntax errors on quite standard apache directives.
Completely purging apache and apache-common and reinstalling them makes no difference. Auto install and config have always worked for me in the past. What's going on here?
