Description
Getting the following syntax error when trying to configure export directly in apache module conf:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 17 of /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/opentelemetry_module.conf:
Invalid command 'ApacheModuleOtelExporterHeaders', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
Config:
ApacheModuleOtelExporterEndpoint https://otlp.test.net:4317
ApacheModuleOtelExporterHeaders api-key=4id9f8...
Running Apache 2.4, Ubuntu 20.04
Steps to reproduce
- Uncomment export headers
- Try to restart apache (or stop/start)
What is the expected behavior?
Ability to export successfully, with no errors.

Research direction
Start with /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/opentelemetry_module.conf and reproduce the Apache 2.4 restart failure using the shown endpoint and headers directives. Then trace the Apache module's configuration entry points to determine why Apache rejects ApacheModuleOtelExporterHeaders; done means the configuration loads without AH00526 and export works.
