At least on my installation, it's in /opt/apache/conf/extra/httpd-mpm.conf. Changing PidFile there did not fix things. I'm still getting this: [root@ip-172-31-21-3 ~]# /opt/apache/bin/httpd -S VirtualHost configuration: ServerRoot: "/opt/apache" Main DocumentRoot: "/opt/apache/htdocs" Main ErrorLog: "/opt/apache/var/logs/error_log" Mutex default: dir="/opt/apache/var/logs/" mechanism=default PidFile: "/opt/apache/var/logs/httpd.pid" Define: DUMP_VHOSTS Define: DUMP_RUN_CFG User: name="daemon" id=2 Group: name="daemon" id=2 The line "PidFile: "/opt/apache/var/logs/httpd.pid"" is coming from the httpd binary. I ran strace against it and I don't see it opening any config files. I am almost certain it's a configure time argument that I'm getting wrong. I thought that the --runstatedir in my configure step would do what I want: ./configure --prefix=/opt/apache --exec-prefix=/opt/apache --localstatedir=/opt/apache/var --runstatedir=/opt/apache/var/run Shouldn't that put the pid file in /opt/apache/var/run? Or am I not understanding something?
