Problems with apache 2: Sigterm

(Running Ubuntu 11.10)

Hi,
I'm having issues with an apache web server. After attempting to start the web server in webmin, it gives me this error message:

* Starting web server apache2
Syntax error on line 21 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:
allow requires at least two arguments, 'from' followed by hostnames or IP-address wildcards
Action 'start' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
...fail!

The errorlog (within the apache2 web server files) says this:

[Mon Jan 30 08:02:04 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.20 (Ubuntu) configured -- resuming normal operations

SIGTERM

[Tue Feb 07 21:36:53 2012] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

When I try to load the web page apache is supposed to be hosting, It will not load. Any help would be much appreciated! :)

welcom to WebmasterWorld, apachewebserverguy!

look in the directory contexts of your server config file.
i looks like you have a syntax error with an Allow directive:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_access.html#allow

you should have:
Allow from [hostnames or IP-address wildcards]

it appears you aren't using that syntax.

Thank you for your feedback phranque. In the 000-default folder in the sites-enable folder I put the original code in. Because of this I am not getting anymore errors but the webpage apache is supposed to be hosting is not up stil. Any Ideas on as where I should to start to trouble shoot this.( No errors in webmin or the error log)

[phranque]

what is the status code of the response?
any interesting response headers?
what document gets returned?

Phranque,
The issue here was an invalid HTML directive and an error in the 000-default file. The way I fixed the 000-default was by restoring it to its default coding, and the directive I fixed by giving it a valid path. I appreciate your help!
