This may be a strange question, but why is Apache2's pid file
stored in the logs directory of Apache2? I am doing some basic
background on this, and some put it in var/run, in this case
prefix first of course, but I do not find any official suggestion
on the layout.
It does strike me as odd to store it in the logs folder, of all
non MP installs, I do spend some time in logs directories, and
have never met a pid on that side of town.
Nevermind, as I was looking into log rotation of all things, I find
it nestled here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/logs.html#pidfile
Sorry for the noise.
pidfile in the log directory does strike me as an odd choice too. It
looks like it's how Apache likes it done, but you're right, most
other ports put their pid files in ${prefix}/var/run or ${prefix}/
var/run/${name}.
Sounds good to me, probably w/o the ${name} since that is what the
docs are saying.
P.S: Note there's newer Apache 2.2 documentation:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#pidfile
Thank you!
At least the example given there shows how to change it to /var/run.
When we get around to fixing the apache2 layout (#21315), we can
also patch the sample httpd.conf to use ${prefix}/var/run for the
pid file.
Oh that old thing :)
