[httpd-ssl.conf] SSLSessionCache "shmcb:C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/logs/ssl_scache(512000)" The error is: SSLSessionCache: Invalid Argument: size has to be >- 8192 bytes I THINK what is happening is that the parser is seeing the (x86) part of the file path and getting confused...
Your analysis is correct (and description was wrong - it is an issue on any platform if the path includes parens). The fix is to split the directive into a TAKE12, where if there is a second argument, the paren parsing is disabled entirely.
Fixed in trunk in r829185

This bug was fixed over 2 years ago. Why hasn't it made it into an official release? I can still reproduce it in version 2.2.22.
one word sloppiness
This fixes the same issue with SSLStaplingCache.
The fix was in the initial 2.4.x release in early 2012.
