------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree that my quick fix (providing a fixed value for the parameter) is not
suitable as a permanent solution. The solution is that the lock file needs to
be named in a manner that is consistent with the KXX script in rc6.d.
Even if I were to use a non-default instance name like "bradsapacheds" then the
names /etc/rc6.d/K35apacheds-2.0.0_M16-bradsapacheds and
/var/lock/subsys/bradsapacheds would not match, the lock file would not get
removed upon server shutdown, and this problem would persist.
The lock file needs "apacheds-2.0.0_M16-" as part of its name or the KXX script
in rc6.d needs to be named with only the instance name and not
"apacheds-2.0.0_M16-$INSTANCE"

> Key: DIRSERVER-1990
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1990
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M16
> Environment: CentOS 6.5
> Reporter: Brad Trantham
> Priority: Minor
>
> I was having trouble configuring my ApacheDS installation to auto-start when
> the server boots. During boot it would log an error saying that the default
> instance was already running but there was no ApacheDS process running and I
> was unable to connect to the LDAP instance.
> ApacheDS would start/stop with no problem when I ran it manually but it
> seemed like it wouldn't shut down cleanly during server shutdown, it was
> leaving the pid file in place which was preventing it from retstarting upon
> boot.
> After digging into various searches online I uncovered a suggestion that
> CentOS would not kill a process if the lock file was named something other
> than what the shutdown script in rc6.d was named. This was the case for me,
> the rc6.d script was called K35apacheds-2.0.0_M16-default but the lock file
> under /var/lock/subsys was simply called default.
> I fixed this for my installation by changing line 144 of
> /opt/apacheds-2.0.0_M16/bin/apachds from:
> LOCKFILE="$LOCKDIR/$INSTANCE"
> to
> LOCKFILE="$LOCKDIR/apacheds-2.0.0_M16-default"
> Obviously the real fix should be a bit cleaner than that but it worked and
> now my ApacheDS installation shuts down cleanly when the server is restarted
> and reliably starts up upon boot.
