From triage:Can we check if this is jdk7 related, if it is we should fix. If not, then this should be targetted for jon312

I've reproduced the bug on 1.6.0_31, so it is not jdk7 related

More observations: The error is not just in the 'options' section. I cannot modify any configuration in the directory inside apache virtual host.

I added 'All' value in 'Allow' section or selected the radio button 'Allow,Deny' in 'order' section. Clicking on 'Save' button displays the same error in agent log:

Ignore the above comment and attachment - playing with Eclipse gone wrong ;)

I could not reproduce the bug. Are you sure, you're running the agent with enough privileges to write to the Apache's config files? I.e. if you're editing /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, you most probably have to run the agent as root (unless you play with permissions on the file and directories, the user the agent runs as and possibly SELinux policies).

I take it back :) I was able to reproduce...
