Switch Apache conf rebuild error "undefined symbol: ap_stat_check"

Introduction

When trying to make changes to Apache's include files or when trying to switch to Apache through the WHM, we encounter the following error. How can we resolve this?

/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
Initial configuration generation failed with the following message:
