I’ll surmise in advance that I’m in for some serious reading; but acknowledge that I’m always looking for a quicker way out due to a redundant Dyslexia issue that cropped up half a dozen years back. I am not sure I like the YaST controll of all the things it does, but I’ll reserve judgement for a bit later. So, using YaST Control Center, I got into looking at the modules, and using what I believed to be common sense, started tinkering with enabling a few modules and then encountered this error while YaST was writing/“adjusting” the config: “Cannot adjust Apache2 Service”. I went to the extent of disabling all of the modules (not keeping any notes) and nothing I tried would stop this error. What I initially was looking for in YaST was MySQL, which I know I installed once I fixed my initial Networking Problem. Like a Kid in a Sandbox, I got sidetracked, and here I am! The beauty of this is that I have my 2 domain’s vhosts on my old Fedora 9 rig, which I can examine some items without Danger, and hopefully learn a few things. Anyhow, while I’m reading in the next few days, if I’ve posted in the correct spot and anyone has any tips, I’ll be happy to have them. Any YaST ones too. Regards, tarzy… ---

Hi What version of SLES are you running? If your not to far down the track, you can always force the re-install of Apache2? This should reset everything and the configs. ---

Hi Probably easier from the command line with zypper… ```auto zypper in -f ``` In your case it will be apache… You can find out the installed packages with the search feature of zypper; ```auto zypper se -i apache ``` This will search for packages with apache in there name and the -i means it will only show installed ones. – Cheers Malcolm °¿° SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 12.3 (x86\_64) GNOME 3.8.4 Kernel 3.7.10-1.16-desktop If you find this post helpful and are logged into the web interface, please show your appreciation and click on the star below… Thanks! ---

I’ll Google it.[/QUOTE] I may be learning some things after all; here is the output from my search to fix this problem: # httpd2 -t httpd2: Syntax error on line 117 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 26 of /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib64/apache2-prefork/mod\_mem\_cache.so into server: /usr/lib64/apache2-prefork/mod\_mem\_cache.so: undefined symbol: ap\_cache\_cacheable\_hdrs\_out To me, this seems to show I screwed something up with my module fidgiting in YaST. I have a nasty habit of placing roadblocks mentally in my way, but one, whether it is or isn’t is it seems like a steep curve for me personally, in learning YaST. I am slowly trying to absorb the documentation, which is lengthy, like everything in Linux. I desperately want to get this SLES tuned and working, it just seems great, even though I know so little! Also, does anyone know if Webmin can work with SLES? It is what I have grown so used to for day-to-day tweaks, especially MySQL. Regards, tarzy ---

I also see that the Directory directive in line 29 doesn’t include a directory path. ## HTH.

Thanks very much, I’ll fix it. I forgot to say I solved the error of this thread’s subject.
