How To Troubleshoot Common Apache ErrorsHi
I am trying to fix this error: <Directory> directive missing closing ‘>’ in this section:
<Directory /user/share/>
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
What is the first line supposed to look like? I have tried moving the bracket. I am using Ubuntu & apache2.
Thank you

Hi @millerfuresh,
Here is how it’s in my config
<Directory /usr/share>
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
Everything on your end looks alright as well. Having said that if you comment it and try to start Apache, does it work or it still gives another error?

Hi @KFSys
I corrected the wording but then got a error on line 168 when I restarted apache
millerfuresh@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-nyc1-01:~$ sudo apache2ctl -t
apache2: Syntax error on line 168 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: </Directory> without matching <Directory> section
Action '-t' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

Thank you @KFSys! This worked
#<Directory /usr/share>
# AllowOverride None
# Require all granted
#</Directory>
