As I was upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04, I noticed that it removed libapache-mpm-itk. After the upgrade, I ran apache2ctl configtest to see if it would pass.

The first error I encountered "cannot load libphp5.so" and so I purged it and installed libphp, which installed php7. So far so good.

The next error was expected:

AH00526: Syntax error on line 4 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/nsc.local.conf: Invalid command 'AssignUserID', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Note that I had been successfully using the mpm before upgrading.

So, the next logical thing to do is install the Apache 2 ITK MPM:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libapache2-mpm-itk

but... it didn't change anything. I still get the same error. Any ideas where to go from here?

  • Do you see the module in the output of ls /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/?

  • Your question helped me. I had sudo a2enmod mpm_itk down, but forgot all about sudo apt-get install libapache2-mpm-itk.

You don't appear to have mpm_itk.load in your mods-enabled folder, which most likely indicates it's not loaded.

sudo a2enmod mpm_itk
sudo service apache2 restart

    Bingo! I got the following warnings: $ sudo a2enmod mpm_itk Considering dependency mpm_prefork for mpm_itk: Considering conflict mpm_event for mpm_prefork: Considering conflict mpm_worker for mpm_prefork: Module mpm_prefork already enabled Enabling module mpm_itk. But, that took care of the problem.
