In your case, it appears that the <Location> section for the
mod_status handler is either missing or commented out. First, make
sure that mod_status is installed and enabled (either with
LoadModule/ActivateModule if it is a shared module, or just AddModule
if it is not.). The module is bundled with Apache. I don't remember if
it is compiled by default or not.

the apachectl status/fullstatus command fires up a browser (lynx, the
text-based browser) and directs it to a special URL on the server. For
it to work, apache has to 1. be set up to respond to the URL and
2. allow the requester to access the URL.
For #1 to work, the mod_status has to be installed and working, and
something like the following shoud be in either the main section of
httpd.conf or within a <VirtualHost>:
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from .yourdomain.com
</Location>
You can change the /server-status part in the Location to whatever
you want... the key to this whole thing is the SetHandler
server-status directive. The stuff following SetHandler is for access
control.
For #2 to work, the access controls have to be set to allow requests
either from all (Allow from all) or from a certain domain (Allow from
...).
Good Luck
