Hi , I have a problem that I am hoping one you have seen before.... I am trying to run multiple instances of Apache V. 2.2.8 on Solaris 10. I have everything setup. i.e. Different configuration files for each instances, with different port numbers, lock file, PidFile, and ScoreBoardFile. However, when I try to start instance, it won't accept the "PidFile" param from the config file. Hence I am unable to start multiple instances. If I start each instance individually, all 3 instances come up ok, but they all place the PidFile in /var/run/httpd.pid. No matter what I do, I cannot seem to force the config to use different pid file. Any help? I know its not permissions issue because it creates errorlogs and scoreboardfile successfully. Here is my instance 1.conf: ServerRoot "/opt/code/apache2.2.8" Listen 80 ServerName localhost:80 ScoreBoardFile /var/adm/apache2.2.8/inst1/apache_runtime_status LockFile /var/adm/apache2.2.8/inst1/inst1.lock PidFile /var/adm/apache2.2.8/inst1/inst1.pid Here is my instance 2.conf: ServerRoot "/opt/code/apache2.2.8" Listen 81 ServerName localhost:81 ScoreBoardFile /var/adm/apache2.2.8/inst2/apache_runtime_status LockFile /var/adm/apache2.2.8/inst2/inst2.lock PidFile /var/adm/apache2.2.8/inst2/inst2.pid Here is my instance 3.conf: Listen 82 ServerName localhost:82 ScoreBoardFile /var/adm/apache2.2.8/inst3/apache_runtime_status LockFile /var/adm/apache2.2.8/inst3/inst3.lock PidFile /var/adm/apache2.2.8/inst3/inst3.pid Any help or suggestions are very much appreciated.
