Instead of recompiling, why not just create a symbolic link to /etc/apache2/modules/modules/mod_access.so from /etc/apache2/modules?

Hi gang.

I'm running into a weird issue with Apache 2.  I suspect this is related to
the internet connection problems that took me offline last night.  Part of
trying to figure out the connection problem was a complete power down of my
server/firewall/workstations/switch in an effort to force a reset of the
NICs.  When I booted back up, Apache refused to start.  When I try to start
Apache manually, I get the following:

root # /etc/init.d/apache2 start
 * Apache2 has detected a syntax error in your configuration files:
Syntax error on line 24 of /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf:
Cannot load /etc/apache2/modules/mod_access.so into server:
/etc/apache2/modules/mod_access.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory

so, doing the dilligent thing I traced the paths being mentioned.  Turns out
I don't have a mod_access.so in /etc/apache2/modules.  However, I do have
/etc/apache2/modules/modules/mod_access.so.  So, it would appear that my
config files may have become messed up.

Has anyone seen anything like this?  The server was working perfectly fine,
until the internet connection went kaput.  Even then the web server was
running (I was able to pull up pages from the local network) until I had to
restart the service.  But no config file changes were made at all (that I'm
aware of - and I'm the only one with access to this server - I hope).  Btw,
I did run chkrootkit, with no reported problems.

This one has me stumped.  I'm in the process of re-compiling/reinstalling
Apache 2 right now and will put my config settings back in incrementally.
But what could have caused this?

Thanks for any responses.

Shawn
