Hello,

I just compiled Pound-2.0.5 with pcre-6.6 and OpenSSL-0.9.8b
on a Sun Sparc under Solaris 8 with gcc version 3.4.3.
This worked fine, but when I try to start the program with
a pound.cfg like

______________________________________________________
User "nobody"
Group "nogroup"

ListenHTTP
    Address    <IP of my Server>
    Port    81
    xHTTP    1
    WebDAV    1
    Client    2
End

Service
        Url ".*/manage"
        Redirect "<URI>"
End

LogLevel 2

# My 3 Zope instances
Service
        BackEnd
        Address    127.0.0.1
        Port    8080
    End
        BackEnd
        Address    127.0.0.1
        Port    8081
    End
        BackEnd
        Address    127.0.0.1
        Port    8082
    End
End
_________________________________________________________

pound doesn't start telling me

Unknown Listener address ""

What's wrong here? Is this a change in the config-file
format, my mistake or a bug?

Thanks in advance,

Michael

My first guess is that you have some control character in your config
file, otherwise the error message would show what you have written.

Second guess: you are not using the config file you show here.

Third guess: PCRE on Solaris has a problem. Are you sure about the
version number? The last version shown on pcre.org is 6.4.

Dear sir:
    Do you have some plan to make config file in XML format ?
I think XML is better than current format

    thanks

No, we have no plans for XML config. As I am sure you realise, "better"
is rather subjective...

I think there's also no need. It's better not to add extra complexity and extra
dependencies without need.
