httpd server is not starting

Question

I am implementing failover mechanism in JBoss from here

I added following line in httpd.conf file

LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so

Now I am getting following error while starting Apache

D:\Installation\apache-2\bin>httpd -k start
httpd: Syntax error on line 495 of D:/Installation/apache-2/conf/httpd.conf: Can
not load D:/Installation/apache-2/modules/mod_jk.so into server: The specified
procedure could not be found.

I am sure that there is file mod_jk.so in modules directory. What could be reason for this and how to resolve this problem? I am using Wondows 7 OS. Thanks in advance

You're using Windows, but you're configuring Unix pathnames, and the wrong one at that.

Figure out where that .dll is placed on your system, and configure the path properly.

Also, all modules must be built for the specific apache version you are using.

Thanks for reply. For which dll file you are saying? – sjain Apr 27 '12 at 10:31

`*.so` files are meant for Linux/Unix platforms, you should find a DLL file (I'm guessing `mod_jk.dll`) as adaptr said. – onik Apr 27 '12 at 10:53

Apache on Windows uses ".so" filenames for the DLLs. This issue seems to be a missing mod_jk.so file. – rightstuff Apr 30 '12 at 18:55
