Check your AcceptMutex setting. You are probably using the flock or fcntl 
method and the lock file is owned by root. Therefore Apache is now unable to 
lock the resource. Unless you have explicitly specified LockFile, you should 
find the lock file under SERVER_ROOT/logs/accept.lock

Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] apache Read/Write permissions problems ???


Hello all,

My society needs a package containing apache that must meet next requirements :

- all data , software and configuration must be isolated in /opt/apache
- the package needs to run on FreeBSD
- /opt/apache ( and all files in it ) must be owned by user:group apache:apache 
<--> 0755
- httpd must run as user:group www:apache

The advantage of such a configuration is that

- we can easily update our software on all of our servers
- we can give the System Administration to this branch of our IT services to a 
dedicated team without giving them the root password
- httpd process can run safely with only write access on the directories where 
it is absolutely needed ( log, run , ... )

...

The package is now ready but I get some problems. When I run apachectl as root 
user, process httpd runs correctly but when I run it as user apache , I get 
next error :

[emerg] (2)No such file or directory: Couldn't create accept lock

The problem is I don't know what file cannot be read ?

Regards
Vincent
