Apache Can’t Load Modules Problem

July 5th, 2007 Posted in RevTI, System Administration

Today I’m having problem with CPanel’s Apache when I upgrade it. The Apache server won’t start, it gives this error messages:

Syntax error on line 216 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_bwlimited.so into server: /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_bwlimited.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/etc/init.d/httpd start: httpd could not be started

Obviously that the module mod_bwlimited.so cannot be found by Apache, here is how to fix it:

cd /usr/local/cpanel/apache
/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -iac mod_bwlimited.c

After compile finish the .so file will be copied to the right directory and you can start Apache by executing command:

service httpd start

On my site, I get the following error:

Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8g DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at Port 80

Any ideas on how to fix it?
