This is the error message that was returned when I used the function that tests the configuration file (Line 486 is the line that starts “LoadModule…”).
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 486 of C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: LoadModule takes two arguments, a module and the name of a shared object file to load from
I’m pretty sure the solution is easy but i can’t see it. Can anyone help please?
I can clearly guess that you are using Windows OS. Can you please tell me which version of Windows you are using so that I can check it accordingly and help you out if I can.
The error message is telling you the problem, though it isn’t always obvious. The problem is most likely the space after c: on the first line. It’s effectively splitting the path parameter into 2 parameters … meaning that apache thinks you are trying to pass three parameters to the loadmodule command.
Can I just say a massive ‘big up’ to both of you guys! I’ve never used a forum before and I’m stunned at how quickly and willing you were to answer my question.
Teckyhead, you had it down with removing the extra space. Thank a million.
Oh no! I spoke to soon. I accidently amended a back-up config file i made following teckyhead’s solution and this made me think the problem was fixed. However, when I implemented the amendments on the actual config file i got the same error message.
Hostabove, I’m using windows XP Home edition, version 2002, service pack two.
