Use option -t to validate whether there are any issues with a specific Apache configuration file. In the example shown below, it displays that there is a problem at line 148 in the httpd.conf.debug. mod_auth_basicso is missing a . (period) before the so.
# httpd -t -f conf/httpd.conf.debug httpd: Syntax error on line 148 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.debug: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_auth_basicso into server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_auth_basicso: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Once you fix the issue, it will display Syntax OK.
# httpd -t -f conf/httpd.conf.debug Syntax OK
