ERROR: invalid configuration: - 'pool_idle_time' must be at least 1

[deoren]

I just upgraded a box from Passenger 5.1.12 (via gem) to 5.2.0 and after Apache failed to start. I found this message in the error log:

ERROR: invalid configuration:
- 'pool_idle_time' must be at least 1

Thoughts:

• If '0' is no longer supported then the documentation probably needs to be updated to reflect that.
• The configuration directive name in the error seems to be nginx specific (minus the 'passenger_' prefix). Is that intentional?

In my case I just set the value back to the default of 300 seconds and that allowed Apache to start without further issue.

Tangent:

I first started using this with Redmine years ago and haven't ever considered using anything else. The docs are great, the updates regular and the software "just works".

MANY thanks for such an awesome app server.
