Apache 2.4. + mod_proxy_balancer problem

Added by Ivan Cenov over 10 years ago

Our Rddmine ran successfully behind Apache 2.2 + mod_proxy balancer + thin till now on Windows Server 2003 64bit. After I upgraded Apache to 2.4, Apache crashes on start when loading mod_proxy balancer configuration. Without this configuration, Apache 2.4 starts successfully.
Here in proxy_balancer.txt I put attached the configuration that cannot load on Apache 2.4.
Redmine runs successfully on http://redmine.ourcompany.com:3001, http://redmine.ourcompany.com:3002, http://redmine.ourcompany.com:3003 and is accessible. The problem is in proxy_balancer, I did google but could not reach to root cause of this problem.

Please help on this issue.

P.S.

ping redmine.ourcompany.com works well; When trying http://redmine.ourcompany.com in Firefox, Firefox waits for a while and then responds that it cannot connect with the server redmine.ourcompany.com.

I found the problem:

mod_slotmem_shm, that is used by mod_proxy_balancer needs DefaultRuntimeDir to be set. I set this in main httpd.conf file, after ServerRoot directive.

Success.
