@cballew I am not sure I fully understand what it is exactly that you are seeing. If you want to install the headers apache module you will want to include the recipe apache2::mod_headers in your run_list or wrapper cookbook.

@cballew it would also be helpful if you gisted the output of that chef run so we could see a little bit more about what's happening.

I get this even if the headers recipe is not in the run.
OK, easy to see the file is missing, but I don't see anything in the recipes that puts it there. I see a template for the file, but I see no template statement in a recipe to put it there.

hm.. looks like a dangling symlink named /etc/httpd/mods-enabled/headers.load to a file that doesn't exist.

[drpebcak]

@cballew headers is not a default module, so it should not be invoked at all on default run of apache2::default.

I cannot reproduce this on a fresh centos 6.5* vm. Please post your run list and the full output of the chef run so I can try to reproduce it.

*edited because I accidentally switched numbers around.

[cballew]

svanzoest is correct, it was dangling symlinks that do not get cleaned up if you remove a module. that was the problem, thanks.

[svanzoest]

If you are move a module (using the apache_module) definition), it would remove the mods-enabled symlink, but it should not touch the load file in mods-available. This seems to suggest that somehow the file in mods-available got deleted.
