Solution

This issue was probably resolved, but you were probably missing the package libapr1: Apache Portable Runtime library. For Debian based operating systems such as Ubuntu, run:

sudo apt-get install libapr1

For Fedora based systems the package is apr-util:

sudo yum install apr-util

or

sudo dnf install apr-util

Then try running apache again.

yes I tried apachectl, same problem $ sudo ./apachectl start /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libaprutil-1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/usr/local implies you built it yourself. Looks like you don't have a usable aprutil in your shared library path, and there's no packager responsible for it but you. Install something that satisfied the dependency.

Thank you. Used the fedora command for RHEL 8.
