Bug#350286: apache2-common: why is the apache2 pid file not in /var/run/apache2?
Package: apache2-common Severity: wishlist Hi, why is apache2 configured to write its pid to /var/run/apache2.pid instead of /var/run/apache2/apache2.pid? Is that an oversight in packaging or am I missing something?

You're missing the fact that, while the current location isn't ideal, it's a serious pain in the ass to FIX it now, because it requires unconditionally running sed across people's config files. Which is not generally considered nice. ... Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
