[users@httpd] .pid goes missing
Hi,
I'm using apache 2.2.3 under CentOS 5.5. I use virtualmin to monitor the
server and recently a discrepancy has arisen between the reported and actual
state of the httpd service. I think this is because the .pid file, which from
the httpd.conf file is supposed to be in /etc/httpd/run folder, periodically
goes missing. Just not there and I don't know why. I can not stop the service
or restart apache except with a server reboot, not my favourite option
although it does recreate the .pid file and synchronize the reporting.
I don't know where to look. Ideas? References to appropriate docs?
TIA
Dave

well I think the process id is certain to change each time apache
restarts (currently at boot time) so if it is write protected it would
be there all right but then wouldn't three be conflicts over rewriting
itsvalue or erasing it?

Have you tried Write-Protecting the file so that it doesn't get
destroyed by whatever malware is doing it? In windows it pretty job to
protect the file. If you are using Linux or Unix then someone else can
help you.
