I was about to file a bug report on this, but I thought I would bring it
up here first because I am not sure if it the recommended method to
solve the issue.  This is my first upgrade to Apache 2.4 and this
particular server only allows access from the LAN.  I need to do some
more reading and testing before upgrading other production web servers
to Apache 2.4. 

Have the MythTV developers a plan to fix this?  Or perhaps fix it
upgrading to the next LTS? 


# service apache2 start
 * Starting web server
apache2

 * The apache2 configtest failed.
Output of config test was:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 30 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf:
You may not use 'Options +All' or 'Options -All'.
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.


Line 30 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf:
Options -All +FollowSymLinks +IncludesNoExec

Removing the -All allows Apache to start.
