Failed to start Apache Web Service

I hava KDE. When I start the laptop, it goes to a black screen with a mouse pointer (kde mouse pointer). Everytime I have to press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go to tty1 and I see this message

Failed to start Apache Web Service

and it suggest to see "systemctl status httpd.service". After I restart kdm.service in tty1, everything is ok. Here is the output of  "systemctl status httpd.service".

Re: Failed to start Apache Web Service

It looks like you didn't merge pacnew files (correctly) after upgrading apache.
mod_authn_default.so is removed, have a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html
