[SOLVED] Apache won't start; missing 4 modules

Hello,

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but httpd won't start after an update.
First it claims each of these 4 modules are missing:

LoadModule authz_default_module modules/mod_authz_default.so
LoadModule authn_default_module modules/mod_authn_default.so
LoadModule disk_cache_module modules/mod_disk_cache.so
LoadModule mem_cache_module modules/mod_mem_cache.so

If I comment these in httpd.conf, the error changes to

httpd: Configuration error: No MPM loaded.

Can anyone please help?
Thanks!

Did you merge your pacnew files?

There are a number of threads on the networking forum.

Thank you, I was not even aware this existed. Fixed the issue for me.

Hello,

I have the same issue. I removed the pacnew files using pacdiff but I still get exactly the same when I try to start apache. There were pacnew files for httpd.conf, httpd-vhosts.conf and magic.

Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks! :-)

Hello,

I have the same issue. I removed the pacnew files using pacdiff

What did you do?  Remove them, or merge them?  The old files were for 2.2, the new 2.4 are very different.
What changes had you made to the old versions?

Oh okay. Yes I actually removed them. In httpd.conf I had set some apache settings, though most of the settings were on their default values. I should maybe re-install apache to get the new files back and redo my settings since the files are so different.

You might want to do that. that is why pacdiff offers the merge option.
