The error message you're seeing indicates that Apache is failing to start due to a syntax error related to the loading of a module in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, specifically on line 64. It suggests that there is an issue with the LoadModule directive, possibly due to a missing or incorrectly specified module.

1. Check the Specific Error Message

To better diagnose the issue, check the exact error message in the Apache log, which should be available in /var/log/httpd/error_log. Run this command to check the log:

bash

Copy

sudo tail -n 50 /var/log/httpd/error_log

The error should tell you which module is problematic (e.g., mod_php or another Apache module). It will typically say something like:

swift

Copy

Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_php.so: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_php.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This will help identify which module is missing or misconfigured.

2. Check for Missing PHP Module

From the error message, it looks like there might be an issue with the PHP module, which might not be installed or is improperly referenced in the httpd.conf file.

Check if the PHP module is installed:

1. Run this command to check if the PHP module is installed and available for Apache:

   bash

   Copy

   ls /etc/httpd/modules | grep php

   You should see something like mod_php.so if the PHP module is installed. If it’s not there, you need to install it.

2. Install the necessary PHP packages if the module is missing:

   bash

   Copy

   sudo pacman -S php php-apache

3. Ensure that the LoadModule directive is correctly set in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. This should be something like:

   apache

   Copy

   LoadModule php_module modules/libphp.so

   If you don't see libphp.so or mod_php.so, it means the PHP module is not installed or not linked correctly.

3. Ensure Apache Modules Are Available

It’s also possible that the required Apache modules are missing or not properly installed. If Apache can’t find the module specified in the configuration, it will fail to start.

• Run the following to check if the modules are actually installed:

  bash

  Copy

  ls /usr/lib/httpd/modules/ | grep mod_

  This will list all available Apache modules. If mod_php.so is not listed, the PHP module might not have been installed correctly.

4. Update the Apache Configuration

If the correct PHP module is available but Apache is still failing, try adjusting the httpd.conf file.

4. Check the LoadModule directive:

   In the httpd.conf file, ensure that the LoadModule directive points to the correct file. For PHP, it should look like:

   apache

   Copy

   LoadModule php_module modules/libphp.so

   Ensure this path matches the actual path to libphp.so. If libphp.so is in /usr/lib/httpd/modules/, you may need to change the httpd.conf file to point to that location:

   apache

   Copy

   LoadModule php_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp.so

5. Ensure that mod_php is loaded properly:

   Apache requires mod_php to interpret PHP. Check if it's being loaded properly by searching the httpd.conf file for mod_php:

   bash

   Copy

   grep mod_php /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

   If there is no mod_php in the config, you may need to manually add it:

   apache

   Copy

   LoadModule php_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp.so

5. Reinstall Apache and PHP

If you're still having trouble, try reinstalling Apache and PHP:

bash

Copy

sudo pacman -Rns apache php php-apache sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache

After reinstalling, make sure that the LoadModule php_module directive is correctly specified and points to the correct PHP module file.

6. Restart Apache

Once you've checked everything and made any necessary adjustments, restart Apache:

bash

Copy

sudo systemctl restart httpd

If everything is set up correctly, Apache should start successfully and serve your PHP files.

If you continue to experience issues, feel free to provide the exact error message from the Apache logs, and I can help you further diagnose the problem.

The error message you're seeing:

makefile

Copy

AH00013: Pre-configuration failed

indicates that Apache failed to start due to an issue occurring before it could even enter its normal configuration phase. This is typically caused by a misconfiguration or missing file/module, particularly with PHP in this case.

Steps to Resolve the Issue

1. Check Apache Error Logs

To get more details about the issue, let's examine the full Apache error log. Run the following command to read the log:

bash

Copy

sudo tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

Look for any specific errors related to PHP or missing modules. This could give us a clue about what exactly is failing.

2. Ensure PHP is Installed Correctly

Since it appears that the issue is related to PHP, let's verify that PHP is properly installed.

6. Check if PHP is installed:

   bash

   Copy

   php -v

   If PHP is not installed, install it using:

   bash

   Copy

   sudo pacman -S php php-apache

7. Ensure that PHP module is loaded:

   In the Apache configuration file (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf), check the following:

   • Ensure that the mod_php.so module is properly loaded. The correct line should be:

     apache

     Copy

     LoadModule php_module modules/libphp.so

     Note: The exact path to libphp.so may differ depending on your PHP installation. You may need to check if the file exists in /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp.so.

     To verify, run:

     bash

     Copy

     ls /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp.so

     If the file doesn't exist, there may be a problem with your PHP installation.

3. Reconfigure Apache to Use PHP

8. Update the Apache configuration to handle .php files correctly. Ensure that the following lines are present in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

   apache

   Copy

   AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php LoadModule php_module modules/libphp.so

9. Check the Directory directive for the correct permissions. The following should be present:

   apache

   Copy

   <Directory "/srv/http"> AllowOverride None Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Require all granted </Directory>

10. Save changes and restart Apache:

    bash

    Copy

    sudo systemctl restart httpd

4. Check for Missing Dependencies

There could also be missing dependencies for PHP or Apache. To make sure everything is up to date:

bash

Copy

sudo pacman -Syu

This will update all your packages and ensure that there are no missing dependencies.

5. Try Starting Apache Manually

If the service is still failing to start, try running Apache manually to see if any errors are displayed directly in the terminal:

bash

Copy

sudo httpd -k start

This might provide a more specific error message.

6. Check for Conflicting Apache Modules

Sometimes, conflicts can arise if multiple PHP modules are loaded (for example, mod_php and php_fpm), or if there are other conflicting modules in the Apache configuration.

• Search through /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf for any other PHP-related lines or modules that may conflict with mod_php.

If you're still encountering issues, feel free to share more specific error messages from the log files, and I'll be happy to help you troubleshoot further.

Feb 15 03:38:45 Archie httpd[2712741]: AH00013: Pre-configuration failed root@Archie ~ # httpd -k start zsh: correct 'httpd' to 'ntpd' [nyae]? n [Sat Feb 15 03:39:10.004500 2025] [php:crit] [pid 2714553:tid 2714553] Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe. You need to recompile PHP. AH00013: Pre-configuration failed

ChatGPT said:

The error you're seeing indicates that there is a thread-safety conflict between Apache's threaded MPM (Multi-Processing Module) and the PHP module.

The error:

vbnet

Copy

Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe. You need to recompile PHP.

What this means:

• Apache is configured to use a threaded MPM, but your PHP installation is not compiled to be thread-safe, causing this issue.
• When using a threaded MPM (like worker or event), PHP must be compiled as thread-safe. If it's not, you'll need to either recompile PHP with thread-safety or switch to an Apache MPM that does not require thread-safety, such as the prefork MPM.

Steps to Resolve the Issue

1. Switch Apache to Prefork MPM

If recompiling PHP is too complicated or not necessary, the simplest solution is to switch Apache to use the prefork MPM instead of the threaded worker or event MPM. The prefork MPM does not require PHP to be thread-safe.

11. Open the Apache configuration file:

    bash

    Copy

    sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

12. Look for the LoadModule mpm_* directives, which load the MPM modules. You should see something like:

    apache

    Copy

    LoadModule mpm_worker_module modules/mod_mpm_worker.so

13. Comment out (add a # at the beginning of) the mpm_worker_module or mpm_event_module line and uncomment the mpm_prefork_module line:

    apache

    Copy

    # LoadModule mpm_worker_module modules/mod_mpm_worker.so LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so

14. Save the changes and exit.

15. Restart Apache:

    bash

    Copy

    sudo systemctl restart httpd

This will make Apache use the prefork MPM, which should resolve the thread-safety issue with PHP.

2. Recompile PHP with Thread-Safety

If you want to continue using a threaded MPM like worker or event, you'll need to recompile PHP with thread-safety enabled. However, this is more complex and may not be necessary if switching MPMs resolves your issue.

To compile PHP with thread-safety, you'd need to:

• Download and extract the PHP source code.
• Configure PHP to build with thread-safety (--enable-maintainer-zts flag).
• Recompile PHP and install it.

However, this is more advanced and often not needed if switching to prefork works.

3. Verify PHP Version and Configuration

Make sure your PHP installation is correct for your setup. For Apache with prefork, ensure you're using a compatible version of PHP.

bash

Copy

php -v

If necessary, reinstall PHP with the correct configuration:

bash

Copy

sudo pacman -S php php-apache

Afterward, ensure PHP is loaded correctly by checking your httpd.conf:

bash

Copy

LoadModule php_module modules/libphp.so

4. Restart Apache

After making the changes (switching MPM or recompiling PHP), restart Apache:

bash

Copy

sudo systemctl restart httpd

After these steps, the issue should be resolved. If the problem persists or you want to recompile PHP, I can guide you through that process as well, but switching the MPM is the easier fix in most cases.

Feb 15 03:40:46 Archie systemd[1]: httpd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. root@Archie ~ # httpd -k start AH00534: httpd: Configuration error: More than one MPM loaded.

ChatGPT said:

The error AH00534: httpd: Configuration error: More than one MPM loaded indicates that Apache is trying to load more than one MPM (Multi-Processing Module), which is causing a conflict.

Explanation:

Apache can only use one MPM at a time, and it looks like both the mpm_worker_module (or mpm_event_module) and mpm_prefork_module are being loaded at the same time, leading to the conflict.

Steps to Resolve:

1. Identify and Correct the MPM Modules in Apache Configuration

16. Open the Apache configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

    bash

    Copy

    sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

17. Look for the LoadModule directives for the MPM modules. You should see something like the following:

    apache

    Copy

    LoadModule mpm_worker_module modules/mod_mpm_worker.so LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so

    There may also be a mod_mpm_event.so module loaded.

18. Comment out the lines for all MPM modules except the one you want to use. For example, if you're switching to the prefork MPM, comment out the worker and event modules:

    apache

    Copy

    # LoadModule mpm_worker_module modules/mod_mpm_worker.so # LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so

19. Save and exit the file.

2. Restart Apache

After making the changes to the configuration file, restart Apache:

bash

Copy

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Verify the Status:

Once you've restarted Apache, check the status to make sure it's running properly:

bash

Copy

sudo systemctl status httpd

If there are no errors, Apache should be running without conflicts.

3. Double-Check for Additional MPM Conflicts

If the error persists, double-check the entire Apache configuration directory for any other conflicting MPM configuration files. Apache may have additional MPM-related configurations in the following files:

• /etc/httpd/conf.d/
• /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/

To search for any additional MPM-related directives, use:

bash

Copy

grep -i mpm /etc/httpd/conf* -R

This will list all occurrences of mpm_* in the configuration files. Ensure that only one MPM module is being loaded across all files.
