I was messing around with Apache2’s config file, to allow/deny access to certain parts of my webserver. I did restart Apache2 a couple of times after modifying the configuration, but must have changed something after the last restart, since it would not start this evening. It gave me this error in the eventlog:
The Apache2 service terminated with service-specific error 1 (0x1).
After some digging, I found that I had put a space after the comma in “allow,deny”. Hey, I did not know a comma was allowed in a keyword! You can choose “allow,deny” or “deny,allow”, but not with spaces after the comma. This is fucked up. A real WTF!
