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

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
