Re: Apache Proxy balancer config issue on v7.2

Heyo,

I am trying to setup a proxy balancer and am getting an error of "Cannot
find byrequests lb method" with the below httpd.conf. I am on v7.2 and
have the latest PTFs installed (level 9 for SF99713) as of last night. If
I comment out the BalancerMember lines the error goes away, but I need
those lines :-) It tells me to add a directive, but the directive syntax
isn't correct, and I already have module proxy_balancer_module specified.

Anybody see something wrong with what I am doing?

p.s. I included steps to recreate issue at bottom of email.
