I had the same problem....
becouse youha apache2.conf probably. you must write it by hand
make install ....
apxs:Error: Activation failed for custom /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file..
apxs:Error: At least one `LoadModule' directive already has to exist..
Too bad it assumes you use apxs2 when you get apxs with yum install httpd and get Apache2
You can create a softlink:
ln -s /usr/sbin/apxs /usr/sbin/apxs2
Can the so called 'custom error' put the IP blocked in the log file or is this always done automaticly ? If not automaticly, what should be the syntax of the custom error so the blocked IP is put in the log?
apt-get install libapache2-mod-spamhaus ( debian squeeze )
wget the mod and dpkg -i, works fine on debian lenny.
I was just wondering if spamhaus is a good idea to be applied on a production shared hosting environment.Doesn't it make false positives easily?
Is there anyone who can help me out?
My client has an IP address which is in a range of spamhouse PBL records.
He is being blocked pretty often on http requests, while I'm not, and the only difference between me and my client is that my IP is not registered within the PBL records.
Any advice?
