Topic: cannot load mod_headers.so into server: Invalid argument

[chandrasekharmsc]

Request your inputs on this issue. Please help.

Added the below block for click jacking fix in “httpd.conf” of Apache web server(version2.0.55, 32-bit apache, HP-UX).

LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN

Post that, not able to re-start the server with below error:
cannot load abcweb/apache_new/modules/mod_headers.so into server: Invalid argument

[James Blond]

Is the path correct to that module? Is it a native module or did you download it somewhere?

[chandrasekharmsc]

Path is correct. that .so file was downloaded.

[James Blond]

I guess that the magic number doesn't match with your apache magic number, so that apache doesn't load that module.

You can find out by /usr/sbin/httpd -M
I don't know HP-UX so maybe the path is a different one.

Required response header('X-Frame-Options') not added to HTTP response by below configuration:

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
</IfModule>

[chandrasekharmsc]

Invalid command 'Header', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

This error is result of commenting IfModule :

#<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
#</IfModule>

You need to load mod_headers in the apache config.

The config line should be
