+ === Problems on 64-bit Microsoft Windows ===
+ The following error may be encountered in the error.log file on a 64-bit version of Windows with the 32-bit version of Apache:
+ 
+ {{{
+ Syntax error on line 62 of C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf:
+ SSLSessionCache: Invalid argument: size has to be >= 8192 bytes
+ }}}
+ 
+ The offending line will be something like this:
+ {{{
+ SSLSessionCache "shmcb:C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/logs/ssl_scache(512000)"
+ }}}
+ 
+ Due to a parser error the "(x86)" in the path is mistakenly found when looking for the bracketed cache size parameter at the end. A work-around is to create a link to the Apache folder somewhere else and then replace the Apache folder of the above path with the path of that link. For example, create a link to
+  C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation
+ 
+ in your user folder as:
+ 
+  c:\Users\myusername\Apache
+ 
+ and then use that path in the config file:
+ 
+ {{{
+ SSLSessionCache "shmcb:c:/Users/myusername/Apache/Apache2.2/logs/ssl_scache(512000)"
+ }}}
