In this case for some reason in a newer version of Apache the module mod_file_cache.so is missing.

In the case of Centos/RHEL 5 it was, but in RHEL/Centos 6 mod_file_cache is missing according to this from the RHEL website:

4.4. Apache HTTP Server

Below is a list of changes for the Apache HTTP Server that are noteworthy when migrating to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6:
  • The mod_file_cache, mod_mem_cache, and mod_imagemap modules are no longer supported.

The Solution/Replacement

mod_disk_cache or mod_cache

CacheEnable disk /
