apache2 configtest failed with output "No MPM loaded."

Question

[email protected]:/home/tara# service apache2 restart
 * Restarting web server apache2                                         [fail] 
 * The apache2 configtest failed.

Output of config test was:

AH00534: apache2: Configuration error: No MPM loaded.
Action 'configtest' failed.

Using

sudo a2enmod mpm_prefork
service apache2 restart

I got:

[email protected]:/home/tara# service apache2 restart
 * Restarting web server apache2                                  [fail] 
 * The apache2 configtest failed.

Output of config test was:

AH00526: Syntax error on line 156 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:
Invalid command 'Require', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

Then i open the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and got that:

//access here, or in any related virtual host.
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all denied //this is line 156
</Directory>

Using

 apt-cache policy apache2

i got:

[email protected]:/home/tara# apt-cache policy apache2
apache2:
Installed: 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.4

Using

i got:

Solution

I had the same problem Like :

Starting web server apache2 
* The apache2 configtest failed. 
Output of config test was: apache2: 
Syntax error on line 140 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: 
Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mpm_itk.load: 
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mpm_itk.so into server: 
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mpm_itk.so: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory Action 'configtest' failed. 
The Apache error log may have more information.

I try this : apt-get install libapache2-mpm-itk so I resolve my problem, reinstall the files which is missing so i can recover.

Thanks I hop you guys can get solution.

Which version of Apache are you using? How did you install it? Add the output of apt-cache policy apache2 and a2query -v.
