A recent update to one or more apache module installation scripts resulted in quite a few services being turned off.
Edit the section of your /etc/apache/httpd.conf with the LoadModule lines and check to see which modules might not be enabled. Compare against a working server or see if you've got an apache.conf.0 backup file made before the changes. Whichever apache update made the changes (I installed several at once) disabled mod_status, mod_dir, mod_autoindex and mod_info, if memory serves. --- Chris Gray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm having the same problem and I know that none of the > solutions provided > so far will work.
