 Posted: Tue 01 Jan '13 22:15 Post subject: invalid command 'require' when upgrading |
 |
|
When upgrading to Httpd 2.4 - X64 on Win 7 X64 I have: LoadModule access_compat_module modules/mod_access_compat.so
All files are in a new folder, so there should be no confusion with old 2.2 files. The Conf file was copied from old 2.2 and all LoadModule commands have been checked to match the default conf. All old extinct directives are gone.
I have removed all the 2.2 order/allow/deny commands in my conf and replaced them with "require" commands.
I don't know why I am still getting the subject error message.
I'm mystified. Any tips? |

Per docs:
| Quote: | Require Directive
Description: Tests whether an authenticated user is authorized by an authorization provider.
Syntax: Require [not] entity-name [entity-name] ...
Context: directory, .htaccess
Override: AuthConfig
Status: Base
Module: mod_authz_core |
Is mod_authz_core loaded? |

In an other post from you, Covener replied that the way you want to upgrade is not the best way.
Also Covener referenced you to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/quickreference.html and look there when you get an error.
So when yo look there, you see that the Directive Require needs mod_authz_core
Edit: glsmith already posted that you need mod_authz_core |

Thanks Steffen and glsmith.
I thought I had matched the load commands 1:1, with the default conf, but I missed that one.
I appreciate your patience and assistance.
Steffen said that my method of updating was not the best. Is there something does not involve copying & pasting all my "directory" and other settings from one conf to the other? I need to update the conf file, one way or the other. Is there a tool that catches missing & extraneous load module entries? |

Not that I know of. I used my existing vhost conf files but a fresh httpd.conf. It wasn't a terrible pain to switch. When something went wrong, I looked at the docs.
Anytime it says invalid command/directive 'some-directive' it usually says right behind it that a module might not be loaded. Look at the docs for that directive, it'll tell you what needs to be loaded.
The Auth system is the biggest change in this version. You should read the docs for it;
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/auth.html
It took me some time to swallow it and I still do not think I understand it completely.
Another biggie is the If,Else,ElseIf and the expression syntax that can be used in your config now. |

| Yes, I'll have to go over the auth changes soon. For now, everything "seems" to be working. I also noticed that the "userdir" directive seems to be gone. I'll need the replacement for that on my other system. |
