Enabling mod_headers on apache2
I'm trying to enable the module "headers" into my apache2 installation on ubuntu 10.04 system, here's some info:
Server version: Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu)
when I run the command:
a2enmod headers
I get this output: ERROR: Module headers does not exist!
but under /usr/lib/apache2/modules/ I can see there is mod_headers.so
any suggestion? thanks in advance
EDIT: There is something wrong with my modules, when I access to the webmin's apache modules list it list me just some modules, not every module I can find on /usr/lib/apache2/modules/ example: I can't see mod_rewrite from the list but I have it in the /usr/lib/apache2/modules/
It seems like someone has deleted the include files for certain mods, instead of removing symlinks like the a2enmod/a2dismod tools do.
Reinstall the apache common files to get these files back in place:
aptitude reinstall apache2.2-common
I found a solution which worked for me
Add this line to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
:
LoadModule headers_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_headers.so
a2enmod headers
service apache2 restart
* Restarting web server apache2 [Fri Sep 11 17:04:33 2015] [warn] module headers_module is already loaded, skipping
... waiting [Fri Sep 11 17:04:35 2015] [warn] module headers_module is already loaded, skipping
[ OK ]
After the restart I could delete the LoadModule headers_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_headers.so
from from /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
and it's further working!
