Error :2 Fix     :
The fastest way to get rid of the error is to disable mod_unique; edit the apache configuration file and comment LoadModule unique_id_module libexec/apache22/mod_unique_id.so

root@FreeBSD:/root #
root@FreeBSD:/root #
root@FreeBSD:/root # ee /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf
LoadModule expires_module libexec/apache22/mod_expires.so
LoadModule headers_module libexec/apache22/mod_headers.so
LoadModule usertrack_module libexec/apache22/mod_usertrack.so
