[SLUG] Apache probs - Invalid command 'Alias', perhaps mis-spelled

[Michael Lake <mikel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

I just had to upgrade a apache on Debian as it was complaining that a module was missing an info file 
and without it it woulnt restart apache.
(it was Error: mod_auth_mysql.so does not have a corresponding .info file.)
This meant that I had to upgrade a few packages due to dependencies e.g. a newer mod_auth_mysql required 
a newer libapache-mod-perl. Now I have more probs.

Im running: 
	apache-perl 1.3
	libapache-mod-perl
	libapache-mod-auth-mysql

Im getting this:

Syntax error on line 393 of /etc/apache/httpd2.conf:
Invalid command 'Alias', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
/usr/local/bin/apache-perl-ctl2 start: httpd could not be started

I suspect I have a problem in the modules.conf file. Here is the full info:
(This is actually a second apache im running, the first I have not touched)

vs:/etc/apache-perl# apache-perl-ctl2 start

The alias is PERFECTLY VALID 
	Alias /something /home/someone/somethingelse/html

and my modules.conf is this:

vs:/etc/apache-perl# cat modules.conf 
# Autogenerated file - do not edit!
# This file is maintained by the apache-perl package.
# To update it, run the command:
#    /usr/sbin/apache-modconf apache-perl

Googling shows probs like this with Apache2 but Im running apache-perVersion: 1.3.33-6
