Problem starting MySQL Proxy

[Eric Bessette]

I've just recently installed MySQL Proxy 0.8.1 and now I'm trying to configure it using a "defaults file". However, no matter what I try, MySQL Proxy fails because of a parsing error.

Here is my defaults file, /etc/mysql-proxy.cfg (most values are temporary):
-------------------------------------------------
[mysql-proxy]
no-proxy = false
proxy-backend-addresses = 127.0.0.1:3306
proxy-lua-script = /opt/mysql-proxy/rw-splitting.lua
proxy-read-only-backend-addresses= 127.0.0.1:3306
proxy-skip-profiling = false
basedir = /opt/mysql-proxy/
daemon = true
log-backtrace-on-crash = true
log-file = /var/log/mysql-proxy.log
log-level = debug
log-use-syslog = false
pid-file=/var/run/mysql-proxy.pid
-------------------------------------------------

When I run "mysql-proxy --defaults-file=/etc/mysql-proxy.cfg" using the version above, I get this error:
-------------------------------------------------
2010-12-08 15:58:12: (critical) mysql-proxy-cli.c:326: loading config from '/etc/mysql-proxy.cnf' failed: Key file contains line '[mysql-proxy]' which is not a key-value pair, group, or comment
2010-12-08 15:58:12: (message) Initiating shutdown, requested from mysql-proxy-cli.c:328
2010-12-08 15:58:12: (message) shutting down normally, exit code is: 1
-------------------------------------------------

If I add any comments like "# This is a comment", then I get this error:
-------------------------------------------------
2010-12-08 14:46:17: (critical) mysql-proxy-cli.c:326: loading config from '/etc/mysql-proxy.cnf' failed: Key file contains line '# /etc/mysql-proxy.cnf' which is not a key-value pair, group, or comment
2010-12-08 14:46:17: (message) Initiating shutdown, requested from mysql-proxy-cli.c:328
2010-12-08 14:46:17: (message) shutting down normally, exit code is: 1
-------------------------------------------------

If I remove the "[mysql-proxy]" line, then it errors out saying the group is missing.

Any ideas what's going on here? I'm using the binary installation on CentOS.

Thanks,
Eric
