Last evening I applied the newly released httpd patch on -14.1. This morning I tweaked /etc/httpd/httpd.conf to add back the site-specific includes and tried to restart the processes. Cannot start httpd because of the subject line: AH00534: httpd: Configuation error: no MPM loaded.

The only references to MPM I see in httpd.conf are:
#LoadModule mpm_event_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_mpm_event.so
which was commented out because that library was not found and

Include /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-mpm.conf

Could this be due to my overwriting the new httpd.conf with the locally modified version that worked here? If so, I'll go to the mirror and re-install the patch.

TIA,

Rich

To merge the httpd.conf.new correctly, you need to replace the old line

LoadModule mpm_event_module lib64/httpd/modules/mod_mpm_event.so

with the new line

LoadModule mpm_worker_module lib64/httpd/modules/mod_mpm_worker.so

Found and solved the problem: I had neglected to copy httpd.conf.new to httpd.conf, then adjust ServerAdmin and ServerName, and add in the two includes I need. Once I did this there were no issues starteing httpd.

Thanks,

Rich

This will be fixed on the next update as well

This issue is back. Had to reboot this host yesterday (14.1/x86); it's current on all patches. When I try to access a local application the subject error message appears when I restart httpd. The earlier version of this thread does not provide a solution.

Changing the MPM module from _event to _worker throws a different error. ServerAdmin and ServerName are correct.

I've rebooted this host a couple of times since the original thread with no problem reaching an included application. My Web seardhes find this thread to be the only applicable one since each hit is distribution-specific. Not having any idea what might be the problem this time I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts on how to get this repaired ASAP.

TIA,

Rich

please give the output when starting httpd from command line

Willy,

[root@salmo ~]# /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd restart
AH00534: httpd: Configuration error: No MPM loaded.

I will send httpd.conf if you wish.

Thanks,

Rich

i think it's better to paste it somewhere public if you don't mind

I finally remembered to look in the error_log. For some reason now the line in httpd.conf for mod_ldap needs to be uncommented (although I don't use ldap here). Regardless, now httpd starts.

The local accounting application does not correctly load, but that's an issue for that mail list, not here.

Thanks, Willy,

Rich
