Apache fails to restart

Support
1

I installed Foreman (via the all-in-one installer) on a 64-bit Ubuntu
12.04 LTS. During the install, I noticed some errors:

err: /Stage[main]/Apache::Config/Exec[enable-version]/returns: change from

In trying to troubleshoot the failures, I installed some additional apache2
packages from the Ubuntu repo. Unfortunately, when I attempt to restart
apache, the follow error pops up:

Syntax error on line 15 of /etc/apache2/conf.d/foreman.conf:

Invalid command '<IfVersion', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not
> included in the server configuration

Action 'configtest' failed.

The Apache error log may have more information.

…fail!

I've copied the contents of /etc/apache2/conf.d/foreman.conf, here:
http://pastie.org/8224840

Any thoughts on what is wrong and/or how to fix this? Thanks! -Pablo

This is the cause of the later error restarting Apache. It doesn't
recognise the <IfVersion …> statement in the config file because the
"version" module isn't enabled.

Try running "a2enmod version" at a prompt - what happens? It should
enable and create the file /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/version.load.

This indicates you're missing Apache's mod_version module.

Version as a module? Is that an April fool from httpd devs? :smiley:
