Package: apache2.2-bin Version: 2.2.22-13 Severity: normal As part of a test setup, I ran Apache within a cgroup to contain it, so I didn't need Apache to manage a PID file. I set "PidFile /dev/null", but when I ran Apache as root (so that it could drop privileges and change to another user/group), it overwrite /dev/null with a real file. That caused no end of havoc on my system.
Perhaps Apache could truncate the existing file but not remove it? - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.8-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apache2.2-bin depends on: ii libapr1 1.4.6-3 ii libaprutil1 1.4.1-3 ii libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 1.4.1-3 ii libaprutil1-ldap 1.4.1-3 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libcap2 1:2.22-1.2 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.31-1 ii libpcre3 1:8.31-2 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1e-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 apache2.2-bin recommends no packages. apache2.2-bin suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
