Hi all
Hoping someone can help me with a server issue. Recently we upgraded to the latest apache on 2 boxes within are organisation. One being the master box the other being for failover. The upgrade went fine on the master box but on the failover box apache fails to start with no errors, being output or logged. Both boxes have the exact same configuration so found this a bit strange.
I've reinstalled apache and have been through checking the configs and did not find any obvious errors. Eventally I ran a syntax check on each config file being included and found that one of the files apparently has syntax errors.
Invalid command 'Order', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Invalid command 'php_value', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Invalid command 'GeoIPEnable', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
I've trippled checked all the modules are enabled but it still fails. I've googled the subject of these errors loads but have been unable to fine a solution.
I was wondering if anyone had encountered such a problem before and could point me towards a solution.
Thanks for your help in advance.
