Very Computer

Hello NG,

i've a litte problem with my self-compiled apache 1.3.26 server
/usr/local/apache2. When it's started via "apachectl start" the
httpd.pid of the 1st server (/usr/local/apache) gets overwritten. Why
doesn't the 2nd server writes in its own pid-file
(/usr/local/apache2/logs/httpd.pid)?

I changed to "chmod -R 775 apache2" and trimmed the
"User/Group"-membership as well  - so the directories could be written.

Has somebody a hint? Thank you...

The .pid file is set via httpd.conf. Try having a look there, and seeing
what location the 2nd server's httpd.conf file has for it. It should be
under the directive 'PidFile', typically located just below the ServerRoot.

Check httpd -V to see what you've got. Edit that file to change the
location.
