Thanks for looking into this. The original attempt was using a build from source. New attempt with fresh download and simplified configure to minimise complications: $ tar -xzf httpd-2.2.11.tar.gz $ cd httpd-2.2.11 $ ./configure \ --prefix=/tmp/apache-2.2.11 \ --enable-proxy \ --enable-proxy-ajp $ make $ make install $ cd /tmp/apache-2.2.11 $ cat - > conf/t.conf <Proxy balancer://x> BalancerMember ajp://localhost:8009 ping=1 </Proxy> $ ./bin/apachectl -f conf/t.conf Syntax error on line 2 of /tmp/apache-2.2.11/conf/t.conf: BalancerMember Ping/Pong timeout has wrong format and same with ping=1s and =1ms This is on linux, SuSE 10.3 $ uname -a Linux belinda 2.6.22.5-31-default #1 SMP 2007/09/21 22:29:00 UTC x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux but get same problem on SuSE 11.0. -- Ian.
