Hi there @ksiddhesh54,

It looks like you are trying to load an apache module called mod_remoteip but there is a problem with the mod_remoteip.so file. How did you exactly install the module?

You could try to reinstall the module first and then load it in your Apache configuration.

Another thing you could do, as a quick fix, remove or comment out the line from your Apache config file so that it does not try to load it.

To do that open the /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-base.conf config file on line 49 and add a # in the beginning in order to disable the module completely. After that restart Apache again.

Let me know how it goes!
Regards,
Bobby

    httpd-tools-2.4.35-2.el7.x86    64.rpm
    libnghttp2-1.31.1-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
    mailcap-2.1.41-2.el7.noarch.rpm

    but while trying to start apache i’m getting below error.
    Kindly help.

      Hi there @ksiddhesh54,

      I would recommend reinstall the module first and then load it in your Apache configuration.

      Another thing you could do, as a quick fix, remove or comment out the line from your Apache config file so that it does not try to load it. That way you will get your Apache up and running while you investigate the problem with the module.

      Let me know how it goes!
