invalid command '<Directory>',perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
please reply as early as possible thanks in advance
Please take your question to a user-support forum such as the users@httpd.apache.org mailing list. The bug database is only for bug reports. (Hint: since <Directory> is defined in the core and is hence always available, this message indicates to me that your config file probably has some garbage characters (non-ascii) in it.)
