Yes, that is the entry of Ubuntu 14 ("Trusty") default apache2.conf file, see http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/trusty/apache2 there the linked file http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apache2/apache2_2.4.7-1ubuntu4.5.debian.tar.gz in the tarball the file /debian/config-dir/apache2.conf > Honestly I don't know how "fnctl" works on Linux, but I'd recommend > using no Mutex directive at all (same as "Mutex default") which falls > back to "Mutex sysvsem default" given your output of apachectl (i.e. > "-D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE"), or possibly "Mutex pthread default" > which is the most efficient on Linux IMHO (also robust, leaks free on > crashes). Great, thanks, I think we will try without Mutex directive. So if apache2ctl -V gives -D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE -D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE then the first is taken as default? I just checked what is the active Mutex: #apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_RUN_CFG ServerRoot: "/etc/apache2" Main DocumentRoot: "/var/www" Main ErrorLog: "/var/log/apache2/error.log" Mutex watchdog-callback: using_defaults Mutex rewrite-map: using_defaults Mutex ssl-stapling: using_defaults Mutex proxy: using_defaults Mutex ssl-cache: using_defaults Mutex default: dir="/var/lock/apache2" mechanism=fcntl Mutex mpm-accept: using_defaults PidFile: "/var/run/apache2/apache2.pid" Define: DUMP_RUN_CFG Define: ENABLE_USR_LIB_CGI_BIN User: name="www-data" id=33 Group: name="www-data" id=33 It looks strange to me that fcntl is used but no files exist in /var/lock/apache2 > Hopefully, the "file" mechanism is not suitable anyway or modern OS.
