Team,

I am trying to start httpd

$# service httpd start

Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 162 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/proxy_ajp.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so: undefined symbol: proxy_module [FAILED]

Process got exiting as per above.

I am running this in RHEL 5.2 server.

I am new to httpd / apache .Please let me know how to debug this ?

Many Thanks,

-Rishal

First place to look, make sure the following exists in the httpd.conf file:

LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so

Remember the file mod_proxy.so must exist and contain the necessary permissions.

If it doesn't work, are you able to copy in the contents of your proxy_ajp.conf? It maybe useful to see line 162 (and surroundings) of your httpd.conf file too .
