This happens both due to spelling errors or leaving out a LoadModule directive. This is not acceptable in a production environment with multiple virtual hosts. Rather, the server should issue a warning and keep processing. >How-To-Repeat:
>Fix: Possibilities: 1. The server could issue a warning and ignore the improper directive. 2. The server could check any configuration before restarting. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
