any help would be great, this is a suse linux 10.2 64bit installation, following the how to for ispconfig

Can you please post the content of the configuration file again, but wrapped in the code tags of the forum, so the line breaks wont get lost.

it also makes reference to /etc/apache2/system.d/global.conf

from setup 10.2
APACHE_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_file [...] setenvif ssl suexec userdir php5 rewrite"

Is mod_log_config included in your Apache configuration? You should have log_config in the APACHE_MODULES line.

unfortunately yes, ive tried reloading ssl and compiling another apache2 but both still have trouble, i cna get it past LogFormat, then it has trouble with the mod_mime call AddLanguage, im a little bewildered, will try a complete reinstall, if i have no luck ill repost
thanks for your time, Happy New year from OZ

# fairly minimal
# APACHE_MODULES="authz_host alias auth dir log_config mime setenvif"
#
# apache's default installation
# APACHE_MODULES="authz_host actions alias asis auth autoindex cgi dir imap include log_config mime negotiation ssl suexe$
# your settings
  APACHE_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_file setenvif ssl suexec userdir php5 rewrite log_config"

didnt have to reinstall, took a little more time to look over the conf files and found a couple of modules missing in the apache_modules line, and also where i had cut and paste out of tutorial the lines had spread over two lines instead of all on one and this was causing grief, anyway lesson learner
SLOW DOWN and dont get COCKY...
till next hassle au revoir

thanks again for time

Problem wenn running apache:
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
or:
/usr/sbin/rcapache2 restart

linux-7hrh:/etc # /usr/sbin/rcapache2 restart
Module "include" is not installed, ignoring.
Check the APACHE_MODULES setting in /etc/sysconfig/apache2.
Module "mod_log_config" is not installed, ignoring.
Check the APACHE_MODULES setting in /etc/sysconfig/apache2.
Syntax error on line 11 of /etc/apache2/mod_log_config.conf:

ok, you have a problem loading include and mod_log_config modules. If you take a look at: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf you'll find where the modules are loaded:
(..)
# generated from APACHE_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/apache2
Include /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf
(..)

The file /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf has:
(...)
#
# Files in this directory are created at apache start time by /usr/sbin/rcapache2
# Do not edit them!
#
# as listed in APACHE_MODULES (/etc/sysconfig/apache2)
LoadModule actions_module /usr/lib/apache2-worker/mod_actions.so
LoadModule alias_module /usr/lib/apache2-worker/mod_alias.soLoadModule actions_module /usr/lib/apache2-worker/mod_actions.so
LoadModule alias_module /usr/lib/apache2-worker/mod_alias.so
LoadModule auth_basic_module /usr/lib/apache2-worker/mod_auth_basic.so
(...)

Did you read the comments? , than go to: /etc/sysconfig/apache2:
(...)
# your settings
APACHE_MODULES="actions alias auth_... include mod_log_config"
(...)

Now you have a trace of all files and can find out whats wrong.
In my case the lines:
LoadModule include_module /usr/lib/apache2-worker/mod_include.so
LoadModule log_config_module /usr/lib/apache2-worker/mod_log_config.so
were missed. Of course, for this reason I received the original error message.
The problem must to be with the file:
/usr/lib/apache2-worker/mod_include.so
I deleted it and reinstall apache and everything works again!!!!
Good Lock for you to!
