Description:
Error in httpd.conf (default directory is: /opt/mysql/network/monitoring/apache2/conf/httpd.conf)

-- on line 300 --

CHANGE FROM

  Group -1

CHANGE TO

  Group #-1

Workaround: run installer, make edit before you launch "dashboard" at the end

How to repeat:
run complete install (not upgrade)

Verified fixed in 1.1.0.4785a:

On Linux:

[root@net-sup1 conf]# grep -in group httpd.conf 
13:# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
288:# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
291:# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
292:#  . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".
295:#  NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
296:#  when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000; 
297:#  don't use Group #-1 on these systems!
300:Group #-1

And OSX:

[markleith@medusa:~/mysql/network/monitoring/apache2/conf] $ grep -in group httpd.conf 
13:# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
288:# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
291:# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
292:#  . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".
295:#  NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
296:#  when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000; 
297:#  don't use Group #-1 on these systems!
300:Group #-1

No issues on startup.

Does not apply to Windows..
