That's quite odd. What is the error message? Looks like I was wrong about this. Either my memory was playing tricks on me, or it's different on my development server. The former is at least three orders of magnitude more likely than the latter. I didn't want to try to restart my live server with a deliberately broken config, so I duplicated it on my development server and got this message output to stderr: Syntax error on line 941 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: <FilesMatch> cannot occur within <Location> section ../src/support/apachectl start: httpd could not be started Here is the (only) difference between the failing config and the one currently on the live server. This is in a <VirtualHost> section: 940,943c940,945 < <FilesMatch "\.html$"> < SetHandler perl-script < PerlHandler Apache::Footer < </FilesMatch> --- > <Location /> > <FilesMatch "\.html$"> > SetHandler perl-script > PerlHandler Apache::Footer > </FilesMatch> > </Location> What seems to have confused me was that to repair the config I removed the <Location> directive. Sorry if this confused anyone else. 73 Ged.
