I am migrating an existing setup.

The old one was -- v 1.8 2004/11/04 13:37:07
I am installing Version 2.4.4 on RHEL5 4.1.2-48

Here is my config file:

#/usr/local/etc/pound.cfg
User "nobody"
Group "nobody"
RootJail "/usr/share/pound"
LogLevel 5
ListenHTTP
        Address 192.168.10.240
        Port 80
        Service
                BackEnd
                        Address 10.10.2.120
                        Port    8080
                End
        End
End

With
$ lynx http://192.168.10.240/
I get -- Alert!: HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable

But I am able to connect with
$ lynx http://10.10.2.120:8080/

In /var/adm/messages, I see
Apr 20 11:51:18 pound pound: (42064940) connect_nb: error after getsockopt:

Thank you Dave.

I was modifying /usr/local/etc/pound.cfg as specified in the manpage, but it
was using /etc/pound.cfg which had been installed by default.

I have managed to get it working now.
