Description of problem:
I was running  Apache/1.3.22 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) PHP/4.0.6 mod_perl/1.24_01
when I updated from RH 7.2 to RH 8.0.  After updating, httpd won't start.

[root@angel root]# /usr/sbin/httpd -t
Syntax error on line 219 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Can't locate API module structure `includes_module' in file /etc/httpd         
        /modules/mod_include.so: /usr/lib/libapr.so.0: undefined symbol: inclu 
                des_module
[root@angel root]#

  I have been experimenting with commenting out lines from the httpd.conf file
and I have found several modules with these errors.  I suspect that this isn't
the problem - it is elsewhere.

Syntax error on line 213 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_log_referer.so into server:
/etc/httpd/modules/mod_log_referer.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory

are typical.  Any advice?

This problem was reported to Redhat as Service Request 218040.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1./etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
2./etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd configtest
3.
	

Expected Results:  The web server should have started

Additional info:

I "fixed" the problem by commenting out some of the lines in the
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and my web server is working now.  Insofar as I
know it is working properly - but it may be that I am not testing it very well.

Another way to deal with the problem would have been to replace apache 2.0.40
with 1.3.27, but the dependences made that problematical.

What is the output of:

$ cd /etc/httpd
$ readlink modules
$ rpm -qf modules/mod_include.so
