[ensembl-dev] Error - $parms->add_config() has failed: Invalid command 'CustomLog'

[Dan Sheppard]

Hi Asela,

I've not seen this in EnsEMBL before but this kind of apache error is 
most often caused by running the wrong version or one compiled with 
incorrect modules.

Could you send the output of these two commands?

httpd -V
httpd -l

In your case, it looks like mod_log_config may be missing, but that 
doesn't mean it's right just to add it in as there must be a deeper 
reason why it's not there for you which will probably come back to bite you.

Alternatively, if you check you followed the instructions here,

http://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/webcode/install/non-ensembl-code.html

that usually fixes this kind of error.

Thanks,
Dan.
