Cause
Resolution
- Make a backup copy of the httpd.conf file. For example, from Command Prompt:
C:\>cd C:\<Installed path>\Apache<version>\conf C:\httpd-2.4.28-Win64-VC15\Apache24\conf>dir ... Directory of C:\httpd-2.4.28-Win64-VC15\Apache24\conf 10/10/2017 10:50 AM <DIR> . 10/10/2017 10:50 AM <DIR> .. 09/25/2017 06:29 PM 1,820 charset.conv 10/06/2017 03:00 PM <DIR> extra 10/10/2017 10:38 AM 20,705 httpd.conf ... C:\httpd-2.4.28-Win64-VC15\Apache24\conf>copy httpd.conf httpd.conf.back 1 file(s) copied. C:\httpd-2.4.28-Win64-VC15\Apache24\conf>dir ... 10/10/2017 10:38 AM 20,705 httpd.conf 10/10/2017 10:38 AM 20,705 httpd.conf.back
If you aren't sure where the httpd.conf file is, you can find the file as shown below, using Command Prompt:
C:\>cd / C:\>dir /S /B "httpd.conf" C:\<Installed path>\Apache<version>\conf\httpd.conf
- Open httpd.conf with a text editor
- In httpd.conf, insert the following line to load the "mod_access_compat" module when Apache starts:
LoadModule access_compat_module modules/mod_access_compat.so
Note: The exact location of the module may vary depending on the Apache binary packages provided by the distribution used. Adjust the LoadModule command according to the Apache binary packages distribution in use.
- Save httpd.conf
- Start the Apache 2.4 service. For example:
C:\>cd C:\httpd-2.4.28-Win64-VC15\Apache24\bin C:\httpd-2.4.28-Win64-VC15\Apache24\bin>httpd.exe -k start
