I'm getting a error in my web log, that I don't _remember_ seeing before.

[Thu May 1 09:55:26 2003] [error] Cannot remove module mod_perl.c: not found in module list

I did a grep in /etc/httpd and find only the normal AddModule in the httpd.conf

I'm at a loss for where something else is being accessed during the Apache startup, and who/why its trying to remove mod_perl.

Can someone suggest more debug steps?

Thanks,
Mike

Under MacOS X, Apache's http.conf file is augmented by all files in the directory /private/etc/httpd/users/ Notice the last line of Apple's http.conf file:

   Include /private/etc/httpd/users

That's intended to load http.conf customizations for individual users on your Mac. What it does, effectively, is append every file in the directory /private/etc/httpd/users/, in alphabetical order, to your /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file.

I still am not sure how it was getting loaded, but it seems to have been related to QTSS, which I've been uninstalling as I find each piece

There was no hook in to the httpd.conf file, nor in the users dir that I could find. The timestamps on all of those files were over a month old.

Shrug.
