The mod_fcgid package requires httpd as a dependency, and that package includes a symlink /etc/httpd/run -> ../../var/run so /etc/httpd/run/mod_fcgid is actually /var/run/mod_fcgid, which is correctly owned by the mod_fcgid package. How have you managed to avoid this? I have:
[root@samson httpd]# ls -l /etc/httpd/run
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 19 2009-03-31 01:43 /etc/httpd/run -> ../../var/run/httpd
and this is generated from the lines in httpd.spec under %install:
# symlinks for /etc/httpd
ln -s ../..%{_localstatedir}/log/httpd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/httpd/logs
ln -s ../..%{_localstatedir}/run/httpd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/httpd/run
ln -s ../..%{_libdir}/httpd/modules $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/httpd/modules
and so /etc/httpd/run/mod_fcgid is actually /var/run/httpd/mod_fcgid
I confirm that I do have a directory /var/run/mod_fcgid but the symlinks set out above do not get us there.
Ah, this has changed since F-10: * Thu Jan 22 2009 Joe Orton <jorton> 2.2.11-6 ... - change /etc/httpd/run symlink to have destination /var/run/httpd, and restore "run/httpd.conf" as default PidFile (#478688) ... * Thu Dec 18 2008 Joe Orton <jorton> 2.2.11-3 - update to 2.2.11 - package new /var/run/httpd directory, and move default pidfile location inside there I propose to update mod_fcgid in F-11 onwards to package directory /var/run/httpd/mod_fcgid instead of /var/run/mod_fcgid That should get us back largely to where we were in F-10 and shouldn't need any SELinux policy updates or config file changes. *** Bug 500143 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** mod_fcgid-2.2-11.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/mod_fcgid-2.2-11.fc11 mod_fcgid-2.2-11.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 testing repository.

If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. *** Bug 501931 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This is still not quite right. Permissions on /var/run/httpd don't allow apache user to traverse the directory, so mod_fcgid can't create or access anything below that (see bug #502273). $ rpm -q httpd mod_fcgid httpd-2.2.11-8.x86_64 mod_fcgid-2.2-11.fc12.x86_64 $ rpm -qlv httpd | grep var/run lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Mar 17 14:16 /etc/httpd/run -> ../../var/run/httpd drwx------ 2 root root 0 Mar 17 14:16 /var/run/httpd |
