Did you load mod_authz_core? The Require directive is not included in the core module and which additional modules are loaded is controlled either by your distro or by your choices during build. I found this out while locking down a web server to the minimal needed modules.
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authz_core.html#require You can check with either httpd -M or apachectl -M OR by checking your config files. Sometimes apachectl configtest will give you a more insightful error, but it doesn't test for everything that could go wrong on startup so a successful test isn't ALWAYS a guarantee of a running system, but I've gotten into the habit of running it before a start or restart.

When I try to start the server after a doing basic config setup I get the following message: "Syntax error on line 236 of /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf: Invalid command 'Require', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration" As "require" appears to be a standard line command in the httpd.conf file I can't imagine why I would get that error message. I haven't been able to find anything in the FAQ nor Docs so far and I'm running out of ideas. Any pointers would be much appreciated.
