Symptoms

When trying to rebuild the Apache configuration file, the rebuild will fail and return an error similar to one of the following:

CONFIG_TEXT: Syntax error in -C/-c directive: Include/IncludeOptional: Could not open directory /usr/local/apache/conf.modules.d: No such file or directory

CONFIG_TEXT: Syntax error in -C/-c directive: Include/IncludeOptional: No matches for the wildcard '*.conf' in '/usr/local/apache/conf.modules.d', failing

 

Cause

The /usr/local/apache/conf.modules.d directory or its contents are missing.

 

Resolution

Reinstalling the Apache Config Runtime package should resolve this error.
