Summary

0004860: not honoring PidFile directive in httpd.conf

Description

We run multiple web server configurations using the same /opt/csw/apache2/sbin/httpd binary. The PidFile directive in httpd.conf is not being honored; httpd seems to be hard-coded to be written to /var/run/httpd.pid, which prevents us from running more than one web server configuration on this server.

We're using the prefork MPM (httpd is linked to httpd.prefork).

Steps To Reproduce

Additional Information

For instance, this config is ignored:
ServerRoot "/opt/csw/apache2"
PidFile /var/opt/csw/apache2/log/dwinfoview/httpd.pid

Reference:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#pidfile [^]

Notes
(0009403) bwalton (administrator) 2011-11-11 03:21	Can you please confirm that you're not overlooking the PidFile value that gets set in /opt/csw/apache2/etc/extra/httpd-mpm.conf? Experimentation locally indicates that this would give the illusion of a hard coded value. Alter this allowed me to move the pid file as desired. Thanks -Ben

(0009404) glenk (reporter) 2011-11-11 21:14	Thanks Ben! Yes, it looks like we're now including that file; that's a change to the configuration that I had overlooked. I appreciate your feedback, and I'll close out this bug. Thanks again, -glen
