Created attachment 398213 [details] add this to the conf.d directory of httpd-2.2.13-2.el5s2 Description of problem: In certain circumstances, httpd does not start, and complains about an invalid configuration file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): apr-1.2.7-11.el5_3.1.src.rpm httpd-2.2.13-2.el5s2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install the newest httpd from RH Application Stack (httpd-2.2.13-2.el5s2) 2. use the config file attached 3. try to start httpd Actual results: httpd does not start. Error msg: Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 26 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/proxy_ajp.conf: BalancerMember Ping/Pong timeout has wrong format [FAILED] Expected results: Since there is no problem in the config file, httpd should start. Additional info: While debugging in gdb, if I set errno to 0 before the call to apr_strtoi64 it works fine. A workaround is included in the attachment: uncommenting the "CacheMaxFileSize 6400000" line sets the errno to 0. This was fixed in upstream in December 2008, see http://github.com/apache/apr/commit/9de56842c6656a52373e3838fc15e8f3926eef7b "Merge r727052 from trunk: * Similar to apr_strtoff reset errno to zero in apr_strtoi64. Cases were observed where apr_strtoi64 returned with a previously set errno although the operation worked fine.
