This error is caused by the module not being loaded into Apache.

For my Apache, I only needed:

LoadModule caml_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_caml.so

On my Apache (which is from Debian), there is no AddModule line needed
for mod_caml.so.  My complete list of modules is:

ClearModuleList
AddModule mod_so.c
AddModule mod_macro.c
LoadModule env_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_env.so
LoadModule config_log_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_log_config.so

This error message seems to indicate that the first LoadModule didn't
work, or wasn't being found.  I suspect that you may be adding
LoadModule to the wrong file.  You could try adding it to the
httpd.conf file directly; also make sure it appears before the first
CamlLoad command.
