Topic: Apache httpd 2.4.66 missing modules/mod_xml2enc.so

[mwish]

Getting this error after upgrading, and noticed modules/mod_xml2enc.so doesn't exist in your zip file:

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 191 of C:/Program Files/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_xml2enc.so into server: The specified module could not be found. .

download again try

[mwish]

Just did that and see the file now exists in the zip file, but am now getting the same error, even after confirming the file now existing the modules folder:

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 191 of C:/Program Files/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_xml2enc.so into server: The specified module could not be found. .

Have you still running 65 just copy the file to 65

[mwish]

When I completely revert to 65 it works fine.

When I copy the mod_xml2enc.so file from 65 to 66 I get the same error as using the file from your 66 zip file.

Please download again

[mwish]

Same exact error.

[Steffen]

do you have mod_proxy_html.so

[mwish]

I did not have mod_proxy_html.so enabled. When I enable it, it is giving the same error for that module now. I confirmed the file exists in the modules folder and that it has a date of 7/24/2025 3:32 PM (which was missing from the previous zip file you had me try)

The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 157 of C:/Program Files/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_proxy_html.so into server: The specified module could not be found. .

Look at the ServerRoot in httpd.conf if that is the correct directory.

Libxml2 was also missing


Please download again

After downloading and updating to the latest zip file, it starts up now with no error. So that seems to have fixed the issue. Thank you!
