Hi all,

I am trying my best to not lose it here.

I am trying to get apache and PHP 5 to work properly and initially apache started without a problem, I then made a info.php file but I was denied access to the file because it said I did not have permission to view this file, I looked around and think I have that fixed, but now I tried to restart the server and now it won't start at all, even after I shut down and do a restart of the machine.
this is what I have tried so far. I tried start httpd from the services window, it just sat and sat. then I tried something that I saw somewhere in the terminal. and this is what I got.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [FAILED]
Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 182 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_access.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_access.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[FAILED]
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been working on this for three hours and I am still stuck on creating the info page for php. I thought this would be a little easier to get going.

Thanks for the help,

I found my own answer not five minutes after I wrote this, so thanks anyway.

from root type:

mv /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.bak /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

if asked to overwrite, type Y and enter.

next time you can just try

vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
:182

take a look at what is causing the problem and then if you can't fix use your backups.
