            Bug ID: 61075
           Summary: Apache start fails on slotmem_shm error when
                    BalancerMember directive is not in VirtualHost
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.4.25
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_proxy
          Assignee: bugs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: vgerris@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Apache does not start when BalancerMember directive is not in VirtualHost and
gives a non descriptive error (on mac os x Sierra , 10.12):

[Thu May 04 16:54:49.918766 2017] [slotmem_shm:error] [pid 63687:tid
140736233759680] (24)Too many open files: AH02611: create:
apr_shm_create(/apache_dir/logs/slotmem-shm-p3e3cb24c.shm) failed
[Thu May 04 16:54:49.918794 2017] [proxy_balancer:emerg] [pid 63687:tid
140736233759680] (24)Too many open files: AH01179: balancer slotmem_create
failed

On Linux another confusing error is shown (I can post it if necessary)

This older bug may be related:
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/process_bug.cgi

So when the config for BalancerMember is included in the main config, it will
throw the described error, when included in the virtualhost where it belongs,
apache will start.

The least that we should see is an error that is descriptive and pointing to
the actual issue.
