Web services won't start - error 100002

Hi there

I have done a freash install of Leopard Server 10.5.4 and updated to 10.5.8 on an Xserve G5. Added a 2nd web site (in addition to default) and now web services won't start returning the error:
A service has encounted an error.
Try to refresh the view (mysever.com/Web)
(Could not start web service - details in error log.)
100002

Below is in the error log for both web sites:
Syntax error on line 1310 of /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
Invalid command '<Proxy', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

The following is a Console Message:
10/4/09 10:50:18 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.apache.httpd-1.3[4682]) Exited with exit code: 1
10/4/09 10:50:18 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.apache.httpd-1.3) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

Any pointer of how to solve this would be appreciated.

Cheers, Paul

From a privileged (admin) user, launch:
Terminal.app
then
sudo pico /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
enter the admin password.
then navigate to line 1310 (chord: Ctrl/shift/underscore)
then take a look at what's there.
Something looks to be broken around a Proxy command.
If it's not clear what's wrong from what's in the file there, post the stuff around line 1310.
