mod_rpaf not recognising RPAFheader setting

Question

After installing mod_rpaf, I set my config file (/etc/apache2/mods-available/rpaf.conf) as follows:

<IfModule mod_rpaf.c>
    RPAFenable On
    RPAFsethostname On
    RPAFproxy_ips 127.0.0.1
    RPAFheader X-Real-IP
</IfModule>

However, now when I restart apache2 I get an error:

Invalid command 'RPAFheader', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Removing the RPAFheader line resolves the problem, but I really need this setting. Does anyone have any ideas?

What distro and version of Linux are you using? The `RPAFheader` command was added in version 0.6 of mod_rpaf and older versions of some distros still use 0.5. — Ladadadada, Mar 12 '13 at 14:06
@Ladadadada Thanks for your reply - I'm on Ubuntu 10.04.4. Do you know what version of the distro this uses? — Jonathan, Mar 12 '13 at 14:27

<IfModule mod_rpaf.c>

into

<IfModule mod_rpaf-2.0.c>

before it will work.

Note that with Apache 2.4, mod_rpaf is no longer needed and is replaced by mod_remoteip.

For future reference, [these instructions](http://mclear.co.uk/2011/09/09/how-to-install-mod_rpaf-varnish-wordpress-ubuntu/) showed me how to install the current version of mod_rpaf. I was then able to use RPAFheader. – Jonathan Mar 13 '13 at 09:34
