James,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

I tried using apt-get to install that package, but no go. Have just tried another install and it has loaded some packages, mods etc, but not the proper executable. I think it's going to have to be compiling from source...

Hi Keith,

Just did a quick Google, and it is apparently the apache2-common
package that provides some of the config files. If you try purging
that package and reinstalling it, it should recreate the ones you are
missing.

Hope that helps.
