[PLUG] Firefox cannot locate localhost: httpd will not start

[Rich Shepard]

   I had to reboot this host a couple of days ago and now cannot access my
business accounting software which runs locally using apache.

   For some reason I cannot start httpd. When I try I get this error:

[root at salmo ~]# /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd start
AH00534: httpd: Configuration error: No MPM loaded.

   Since there were no upgrades or changes from before the reboot I am having
difficulty figuring out why the daemon won't load. My web searches bring up
many hits and they're all distribution-specific, but none for
Slackware-14.1.

   As the end of the month is quickly approaching I need to get this
recalcitrant daemon running again. Your thoughts and suggestions will be
very helpful.
