Using it in a <Location> would suggest it's per_dir config.

... but per_dir config for your location doesn't exist at post_config =
time!

because the config it sees hasn't been merged for the <location>

I suspect you're using the wrong configuration hierarchy for the job at =
hand.
If not, then the fix might be as simple as a merge_config function.

There's a very brief (and ancient) piece at =
http://www.apachetutor.org/dev/config
In the book there's a whole chapter, which is both substantially =
expanded and
updated from that.
