>Description:
As you see  i have the following modules loaded in the httpd.conf file.
They are currently commented out so the web server can start. It doesn't
matter which one I use the web server won't start:

# ../bin/apachectl configtest
Syntax OK

If I uncomment out the module the web server will fail like this:
okiehero# ../bin/apachectl configtest
Syntax error on line 398 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'Order', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included
 in the server configuration

Line 398 is:

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
   Order allow,deny   <<<<<< This line

This makes no sense to me. I did check above this line for
any entry of odd characters and can't find anything.

You see below is what the web server has been compiled for.

# ./httpd -l
Compiled-in modules:
  http_core.c
  mod_vhost_alias.c
  mod_env.c
  mod_log_config.c
  mod_mime_magic.c
  mod_mime.c
  mod_negotiation.c
  mod_status.c
  mod_info.c
  mod_include.c
  mod_autoindex.c
  mod_dir.c
  mod_cgi.c
  mod_asis.c
  mod_imap.c
  mod_actions.c
  mod_speling.c
  mod_userdir.c
  mod_alias.c
  mod_access.c
  mod_auth.c
  mod_auth_anon.c
  mod_headers.c
  mod_setenvif.c
suexec: disabled; invalid wrapper /usr/local/apache/bin/suexec


Below is what is located in the httpd.conf file.

I have compiled everything from scratched until I'm blue in the face
and still can't find the answer to this problem. 

Log files doesn't show anything. So the only explaination is the 
httpd.conf file is screwed up somehow. I've gone to lengths of
removing apache from the system and then re-compling and re-installing
all these modules. A lot of work. So who ever helps me. I guarantee
one way or the other A BIG COOL GLASS a BEER is on the house with ME.
