I have setup Vagrant (details below) and am just trying to start Apache so that I can get to a point that I can actually see a site in a browser, however when using sudo service apache2 start, I receive the error message below:

 * Restarting web server apache2                                                                                             [fail]

 * The apache2 configtest failed.

Output of config test was:

AH00526: Syntax error on line 156 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

Invalid command 'Require', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Action 'configtest' failed.

The Apache error log may have more information.

I have looked at the log, and it is empty. Any ideas what might be going wrong here?

Output of apache2.conf as requested

# This is the main Apache server configuration file.  It contains the

# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.

# See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/ for detailed information about

# the directives and /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian about Debian specific

# hints.

#

#

# Summary of how the Apache 2 configuration works in Debian:

# The Apache 2 web server configuration in Debian is quite different to

# upstream's suggested way to configure the web server. This is because Debian's

# default Apache2 installation attempts to make adding and removing modules,

# virtual hosts, and extra configuration directives as flexible as possible, in

# order to make automating the changes and administering the server as easy as

# possible.



# It is split into several files forming the configuration hierarchy outlined

# below, all located in the /etc/apache2/ directory:

#

#       /etc/apache2/

#       |-- apache2.conf

#       |       `--  ports.conf

#       |-- mods-enabled

#       |       |-- *.load

#       |       `-- *.conf

#       |-- conf-enabled

#       |       `-- *.conf

#       `-- sites-enabled

#               `-- *.conf

#

#

# * apache2.conf is the main configuration file (this file). It puts the pieces

#   together by including all remaining configuration files when starting up the

#   web server.

#

# * ports.conf is always included from the main configuration file. It is

#   supposed to determine listening ports for incoming connections which can be

#   customized anytime.

#

# * Configuration files in the mods-enabled/, conf-enabled/ and sites-enabled/

#   directories contain particular configuration snippets which manage modules,

#   global configuration fragments, or virtual host configurations,

#   respectively.

#

#   They are activated by symlinking available configuration files from their

#   respective *-available/ counterparts. These should be managed by using our

#   helpers a2enmod/a2dismod, a2ensite/a2dissite and a2enconf/a2disconf. See

#   their respective man pages for detailed information.

#

# * The binary is called apache2. Due to the use of environment variables, in

#   the default configuration, apache2 needs to be started/stopped with

#   /etc/init.d/apache2 or apache2ctl. Calling /usr/bin/apache2 directly will not

#   work with the default configuration.

#

# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's

# configuration, error, and log files are kept.

#

# NOTE!  If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)

# mounted filesystem then please read the Mutex documentation (available

# at <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#mutex>);

# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.

# Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.

# identification number when it starts.

# This needs to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars

#

# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.

#

Timeout 300



#

# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than

# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.

#

KeepAlive On



#

# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow

# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.

# We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.

#

MaxKeepAliveRequests 100



#

# KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the

# e.g., www.apache.org (on) or 204.62.129.132 (off).

# The default is off because it'd be overall better for the net if people

# had to knowingly turn this feature on, since enabling it means that

# each client request will result in AT LEAST one lookup request to the

# nameserver.

#

HostnameLookups Off



# ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.

# If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost>

# container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be

# logged here.  If you *do* define an error logfile for a <VirtualHost>

# container, that host's errors will be logged there and not here.

#

# LogLevel: Control the severity of messages logged to the error_log.

# Available values: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,

# error, crit, alert, emerg.

# It is also possible to configure the log level for particular modules, e.g.

# "LogLevel info ssl:warn"

You have to enable a lot of modules to use Require

sudo a2enmod auth_basic authn_core authn_file authz_core authz_host authz_user access_compat

Per default, you should enable

remove apache:

sudo apt-get purge apache2

then install:
