Thanks Axel-Stéphane, Not sure what's going on, but restarted Apache and now have pidfile in correct location. Maybe it's possible for pidfile to be deleted whilst it is still running but after it starts?? Cheers, Craig -----Original Message----- From: Axel-Stéphane SMORGRAV [mailto:Axel-Stephane.SMORGRAV@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, 25 September 2007 4:17 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: No pidfile Is it possible that the directory is not writable to the Apache process owner?? If the server listens to ports below 1024 that's unlikely since it must start as root and will have root privileges when creating the pid and log files, but you never know... -ascs -----Message d'origine----- De : Robinson Craig [mailto:Craig.Robinson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Envoyé : mardi 25 septembre 2007 03:34 À : users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Objet : No pidfile Dear experts, I have inherited administration for a particular APACHE setup. In the conf file, it actually sets a location for the pidfile as follows: PidFile /var/run/httpd.pid However, upon listing the contents of /var/run/ there is no httpd.pid. In fact, there is no httpd.pid on any server. The server is running. Does anyone know how this could be? Environment: Apache 1.3 on Solaris 8 Cheers, Craig ************************************************************************ The information in this email together with any attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
