I am running apache 2.0.58 on wintel as a Proxy server and have recently observed "Internal Server Error." After reviewing apache error logs I am noticing this error and have no idea what it means:

[Fri Mar 09 08:24:51 2007] [error] (OS 80)The file exists. : proxy: creation of temporary file in directory C:\\WINDOWS\\TEMP failed

I have tired creating this directory structure and permission it to everyone to get rid of error but it still comes back.

OS: Win2000 Server


Thanks!
 
fmuquartet,

Is this verbatim?
Code:
[Fri Mar 09 08:24:51 2007] [error] (OS 80)The file exists.  : proxy: creation of temporary file in directory C:\\WINDOWS\\TEMP failed
If so, note the double slashes in the directory name. You probably specified the path incorrectly.

Wishdiak,
This is being reported by mod_proxy, "C:\\WINDOWS\\TEMP" does
not exist in my httpd.conf --I will double check though. This problem occurs intermittently when accessing content on the remote system.

Thanks,

Wishdiak, I stand corrected C:\\WINDOWS\\TEMP" is specified on our httpd.conf, without the back slashes as follows "c:\windows\temp" --Think apache is adding the extra back slashes some how.
