Doc Text:	Prior to EWS 2.1.1, when a rhel-7 server reboots the /var/run/httpd22 file was deleted and it was not possible to start the httpd22 service again. This was resolved by adding the directory to the system's tmpfiles.d configuration so that the system recreates the directory after every reboot.	Story Points:	---

Description Leticia Konno 2015-05-07 17:49:11 UTC

Description of problem:

After RHEL 7 server reboot the /var/run/httpd22 file is deleted and it is not possible to start Apache again with the following erros:

[Thu May 07 09:01:09 2015] [error] (2)No such file or directory: could not create /etc/httpd22/run/httpd22.pid
[Thu May 07 09:01:09 2015] [error] httpd22: could not log pid to file /etc/httpd22/run/httpd22.pid

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
httpd22-2.2.26-38.ep6.el7.x86_64
RHEL 7

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install httpd from JBoss EAP 6 channel in RHEL 7
2. reboot the server

Actual results:

Apache will not start. 
As a workaround, create /etc/tmpfiles.d/httpd22.conf containing "d /var/run/httpd22 755 apache apache" and reboot.

Weinan, please look into this in the httpd build. thanks!

Comment 10 Jan Stourac 2016-08-09 14:54:15 UTC

Successfully verified with httpd22-2.2.26-54.ep6.el7.x86_64, thank you for the fix, Coty.

Comment 11 Gianluca Cecchi 2017-05-17 12:14:11 UTC

Hello, could it happen a regression in
httpd22-2.2.26-56.ep6.el7.x86_64 from rhsm channel jb-eap-6.4-for-rhel-7-server?
Because we fresh installed this package and we have the problem, solvable only with the workaround of creating the file /etc/tmpfiles.d/httpd22.conf as detailed in Description of the bug?

Comment 12 Gianluca Cecchi 2017-05-17 12:16:00 UTC

The product of this case is EWS2 while we have problem with EAP, but for another case we opened in the past the technician supporting us told the packages are the same for the 2 channels, but I don't believe it is actually true....

Comment 13 Coty Sutherland 2017-05-18 03:48:19 UTC

Hi Gianluca, it isn't possible for there to be a regression as there is only one build matching the provided identifier. The changelog of the package provided shows that the issue was fixed in 2.2.26-47, so everything should be working as expected. If this is readily reproducible with a new install, please provide your steps via a support case so that we can verify and we will work to address it.

Also, this particular package is indeed shared between EWS 2 and the EAP repositories as noted by the "Available From" section of the download page here: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/httpd22/2.2.26-56.ep6.el7/x86_64/fd431d51/package
