RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
Instead of patching upstream config.layout, supply are own config.layout with proper paths + change paths for runtime dir and state dir.
Previous values of runtime and state dir were:
runtimedir: /run/httpd
statedir: /var/lib/httpd
NEW values:
runtimedir: /etc/httpd/run
statedir: /etc/httpd/state
Also relative paths are correctly set. The whole change looks like:
diff of old/new /usr/include/httpd/ap_config_layout.h:
53,54c53,54
< #define DEFAULT_EXP_RUNTIMEDIR "/run/httpd"
< #define DEFAULT_REL_RUNTIMEDIR "/run/httpd"
---
> #define DEFAULT_EXP_RUNTIMEDIR "/etc/httpd/run"
> #define DEFAULT_REL_RUNTIMEDIR "run"

< #define DEFAULT_REL_STATEDIR "/var/lib/httpd"
---
> #define DEFAULT_EXP_STATEDIR "/etc/httpd/state"
> #define DEFAULT_REL_STATEDIR "state"
ServerRoot is set to /etc/httpd, but for compatibility there are symlinks in /etc/httpd/{state,run}.
When ServerRoot is set by -d param when executing httpd, relative paths will be used e.g. $ServerRoot/state and $ServerRoot/run.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
httpd-2.4.37-14
How reproducible:
TBD
Steps to Reproduce:
1. TBD
Actual results:
- when -d param is used, absolute paths /var/lib/httpd and /run/httpd are used.
Expected results:
- when -d param is used, httpd should use $ServerRoot/state and $ServerRoot/run dirs.
Additional info:
I will supply reproducers or TC.
