Hi

I have the same problem here.  Pound would not start.

OS: Debian Sarge 3.1r1
Pound: version 2.0.4 (from source)
configure: ./configure --with-ssl --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/sbin
--sysconfdir=/etc/pound

~/$ cat /etc/pound/pound.cfg | egrep -v "^$|^#"
User            "www-data"
Group           "www-data"
WebDAV          0
LogLevel        0
Alive           180

Here is the output of "pound -v"
unknown directive "WebDAV               0" - aborted

pound is linked to libpcre.so
~$ ldd /usr/sbin/pound
        libssl.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libssl.so.0.9.7 (0x4001d000)
        libcrypto.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
(0x4004e000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0x4014e000)
        libpcreposix.so.3 => /usr/lib/libpcreposix.so.3 (0x40151000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x40154000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x40163000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
        libpcre.so.3 => /usr/lib/libpcre.so.3 (0x40298000)

and here is the libpcre version

~$ dpkg -l | grep pcre
ii  libpcre3       4.5-1.2sarge1  Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression
Library
ii  libpcre3-dev   4.5-1.2sarge1  Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression
Library

Is there a know problem with Debian and what is the solution?

Francois,

I removed WebDAV from pound.cfg and it works.

Make sure that the server names you are using in your pound.cfg have 
entries in DNS.  I had similar issues with pound and having the server 
names listed in the hosts file only and  NOT in DNS

You may be getting a time-out on connecting to the back-end, due to an
overloaded server. Looking at the log files would tell you what exactly
went wrong.

As a first step try increasing your server time-out in the config file
and see if it helps.[...]
