Apache startup error

Don't know what else to look at here.  The file exists, and should be readable and executable by the httpd user.

Versions all seem to be compatible.  I've read all the relevant wiki pages (nothing relevant), searched Google (also nothing relevant), asked on IRC (no takers), and so I'm here.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Apache startup error

when I install mod_python pacman says:

Now don't forget to edit your main config and add
    LoadModule python_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_python.so
and if your configuration uses ClearModuleList, then also
    AddModule mod_python.c

When I add the LoadModule line apache starts fine.  Do you have the exact same line or something else in httpd.conf? (note the "python_module" not "mod_python" )
