Apache keeps failing

[kevin]

Hi guys,
I'm starting to get frustrated with this issue.

The apache service fails on boot and I cant get it to start up again.

For example:

Code: Select all

vici2:~ # sudo service apache start                                               
Job for apache2.service failed. See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xn" for details.
vici2:~ # systemctl status apache2.service

You have an erorr in apache config " Invalid command 'Order'"
have you recently upgraded apache to 2.4 ?

Or perhaps you modified /etc/apache2/default-server.conf (or anothe apache2 conf file) and broke something. The option "Order" has to be in a specific location or it will be misinterpreted as a command ... which does not exit.

Oh i changed something in /etc/apache2/conf.d/vicirecord.conf to be able to access the the recordings it looks like this.
Did put in a wrong command?

Code: Select all

 Alias /RECORDINGS/ "/var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/"

<Directory "/var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE">
        Options Indexes MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from all
        <files *.mp3>
                Forcetype application/forcedownload
        </files>
</Directory>


[williamconley]

Um ... what is Require all granted?

IE: Change it back to the original and find out if that fixes it.

Here's the original:

Code: Select all

Alias /RECORDINGS/ "/var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/"

<Directory "/var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE">
        Options Indexes MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        <files *.mp3>
                Forcetype application/forcedownload
        </files>
</Directory>

This is what i got back after the change

Code: Select all

Jun 16 20:20:13 vici2 start_apache2[6363]: AH00526: Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/apache2/conf.d/vicirecord.conf:

And this is the apache version I'm running on

Server version: Apache/2.4.18 (Linux/SUSE)

[kevin]

Ok I resolved it apparently apache v2.2 uses

Code: Select all

   Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

But in v2.4 it switch over to this

Code: Select all

Require all granted

It's in "In this example, all requests are allowed." in the link below:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/upgrading.html

[williamconley]

Perhaps you just can't use both. I swear I have some 2.4 servers without that error. However: perhaps it is a recent change within 2.4, not all of 2.4 ...?

[chornyi_taras]

You can use IfVersion

Code: Select all

<Directory /srv/www/htdocs/somedir>
  <IfVersion >= 2.4>
    Require all denied
  </IfVersion>
  <IfVersion < 2.4>
    Order allow,deny
   Deny from all
  </IfVersion>
</Directory>
