Cannot navigate to website

I'm sorry to keep bothering you, and I don't mean to keep coming back at your
suggestions, but I am almost certain it cannot be that simple. The reason I
say this is because everything was working fine the day before yesterday,
and not much has changed since then.

I will explain a little more and perhaps you will see why I am so puzzled. I
had set up https (or so I thought) and had configured most of the
shibboleth2.xml file and the metadata.xml file, and although it was not
fully functional I could still access the site and there didn't seem to be
any real problems. As it turned out, I had left out the chain file when
setting up https (I don't know if that could be significant), but I reloaded
apache and it still seemed to be working. This was around the time that
things started going wrong, however. It was when I first noticed that the
"load module" line seemed to be causing the problems. But it wasn't a
problem before that! I've been careful to make backups and write down almost
everything I've been doing, and after backtracking a lot, and then even
restoring backups which I /know/ were not causing problems before, the
recent problems have not changed at all. Surely, I would have gotten this
behaviour and the error messages before if there was something wrong with
the configuration from the start?

Like I say, I don't want to be that guy who just keeps asking until he gets
the answer he wants to hear, it just doesn't seem to make much sense that it
is just an xml issue. Could it be that the problems were there all along and
were just disguised somehow? How can it be working (or at least, not broken)
under one configuration, and then break and continue to be broken after
restoring it to how it was? If it's an xml parsing issue then it's an xml
parsing issue, I just don't understand how that could just suddenly arise
after barely anything has been changed, and what has been changed has been
reverted.

Thanks for all your help,
Joe
