Apache2 problem with Include statements in apache2.conf

[B-Fly <b.fly.spam.1@hccnet.nl>]

Hello,

Since yesterday I restarted apache2 and since then it didn't start anymore:

   iserver:/etc/apache2# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
   Starting web server: Apache2apache2: could not open document config
   file /etc/apache2/conf.d/\x88A\x0f\b\x90`\v\b\x01

I am currently running testing, but I got the same error when 
reinstalling apache2 from unstable (this error actually prevents apache2 
from installing).

I found some pages on the internet complaining about the error "could 
not open document config file", but none were very helpful. Am I the 
only one experiencing this problem? It seems to be related to "Include" 
statements in apache2.conf. As far as I know apache2 did not update in 
the last week or so I doubt whether the error is related to apache2 at 
all. Anybody any ideas?

<<<Temp. solution  & additional info:>>>

I have to change a few "Includes" statements in 
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf (relevant part only):

   # Include generic snippets of statements
   ###Include /etc/apache2/conf.d
   Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/*

   # Include the virtual host configurations:
   ###Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
   Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*

Both directories (/etc/apache2/conf.d/ and /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/) 
exist, are empty, and the permissions seem OK.
