Public bug reported: When I upgraded to saucy, Apache2 failed to start with the full error in /var/log/apache2/error_log:
[Sun Jan 05 07:32:52.418401 2014] [fcgid:emerg] [pid 15690:tid 3074378304] (2)No such file or directory: mod_fcgid: Can't create shared memory for size 1167812 bytes This appears to be because the configuration directive for SharememPath used by mod_fcgid is not set correctly in the configuration files. That variable needs to be set to a directory that is created and empty. Such a directory seems to exist: /var/lib/apache2/module/enabled_by_admin/fcgid I was able to add this to my Apache configuration to solve the issue: <IfModule mod_fcgid.c> SharememPath /var/lib/apache2/module/enabled_by_admin/fcgid </IfModule> This SharememPath setting should be made by default in /etc/apache2 /mods-available/fcgid.conf ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: libapache2-mod-fcgid 1:2.3.9-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-14.21-generic 3.11.7 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-14-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Jan 6 04:14:00 2014 Dependencies: gcc-4.8-base 4.8.1-10ubuntu9 libc6 2.17-93ubuntu4 libgcc1 1:4.8.1-10ubuntu9 multiarch-support 2.17-93ubuntu4 InstallationDate: Installed on 2011-06-16 (935 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release i386 (20110427.1) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: libapache2-mod-fcgid UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2014-01-02 (3 days ago) ** Affects: libapache2-mod-fcgid (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 saucy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1266400 Title: Apache2 fails to start with libapache2-mod-fcgid: No such file or directory: mod_fcgid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libapache2-mod-fcgid/+bug/1266400/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
