httpd Cannot load /opt/freeware/lib/httpd/modules/mod_authn_default.so

    Hello,

    We are working on AIX LPAR 7.2

    We have to install YUM.
    Before installing YUM we had to remove an old httpd (httpd-2.2.17-1.ppc) version as there was a conflit with db4 package.

    Now that YUM works fine we had to re-install a new version of httpd (httpd-2.4.41-1.ppc).
    And our new version of httpd will have to work with our old httpd configuration file.

    It is not the first time we met this situation.
    So we were confident !



    But this time we have troubles ! The httpd daemon does not want to start. We have missing modules.
    We do not understand why ?

    Do we have to install another rpm package ?
    What should we check ?

    We thank you very much for your help,

    Christophe

    You can't expect a configuration file which is used for version 2.2.17 to work in version 2.4.41
    It's a major version change. Those missing modules would have been deprecated.
    You need to look into the new httpd conf file and create a suitable one for your needs.
