Hi Jim, what do you think about the suggested directives of "ProxyConfigIdPrefix" and "BalancerSlotmemDir"? (any other way to solve this problem is also welcome)
Today I just ran into the same problem with httpd-2.4.3. The apache config/logs directory is shared (NFS) on two servers - when trying to restart both apache instances at same time, the last one throws an error: [proxy_balancer:debug] mod_proxy_balancer.c(760): AH01178: Doing balancers create: 544,1 (6) [slotmem_shm:debug] mod_slotmem_shm.c(300): AH02300: create /apache/logs/slotmem-shm-sbf751527.shm: 544/6 [proxy_balancer:emerg] (17)File exists: AH01179: balancer slotmem_create failed When I restart this instance when the first one is up, the restart is successful. regards, Zisis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Jagielski" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, May 1, 2012 8:43:46 PM Subject: Re: httpd 2.4.2 - mod_proxy id name not unique Let me look into that... iirc, it was due to us wanting to be able to persist data between restarts and using the time as part of the id prevented that. But I could be mis-remembering. On Apr 30, 2012, at 7:50 AM, Zisis Lianas wrote: > hi, > > when mod_proxy currently is generating his "id", the name > of this id is not very unique.
