Hi, I'm using apache 2.2.3 under CentOS 5.5. I use virtualmin to monitor the server and recently a discrepancy has arisen between the reported and actual state of the httpd service. I think this is because the .pid file, which from the httpd.conf file is supposed to be in /etc/httpd/run folder, periodically goes missing. Just not there and I don't know why. I can not stop the service or restart apache except with a server reboot, not my favourite option although it does recreate the .pid file and synchronize the reporting. I don't know where to look. Ideas? References to appropriate docs? TIA Dave --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
