Details

Please create a directory for file-based locking in Apache. It just needs a new line in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/apache like this:

d /run/httpd 0755 root root -
d /run/httpd/locks 0700 root root -

That allows something like this in httpd.conf:

Mutex "file:/run/httpd/locks"

Apache version: 2.4.7
Relevant file: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/apache/trunk/apache.tmpfiles.conf
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  If you change default paths, you should also update the configuration for that.

How it differs from using the default RuntimeDir (i.e. '/run/httpd') for locks?
Comment by Yardena Cohen (yardenac) - Wednesday, 12 March 2014, 07:08 GMT
You can have slightly stricter permissions and more guarantee against name collisions. This is how I've always run it. Admittedly /run/httpd works though.
