I wanted to do server side includes, so i followed your instructions. I try to restart apache and it doesnt! I type httpd -t and get the following: Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf: Invalid command 'd/mod_include.so', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration What did i do wrong? the line in the file here looks like this: LoadModule negotiation_module libexec/httpd/mod_negotiation.so LoadModule includes_module libexec/httpd/mod_include.so LoadModule autoindex_module libexec/httpd/mod_autoindex.so What's wrong?

  I ended up just overwriting the httpd.conf file with its backup.. maybe emacs won't kill the file like word did...
• surely there's a better way?

  i got the same thing, and i could easily replace the apache file... but would prefer to know how to de-bug. (my error message was:
  
  "virginia% sudo apachectl start
  Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
  Invalid command '/etc/httpd/httpd.conf', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
  /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started"
  
  in the error log (am very new to this, so this is quite possibly totally irrelevant) it says:
  
  "[Tue Jun 11 22:40:27 2002] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down"
  
  help? anybody?
