Apache RA not creating directory in /var/run

[bradjones1]

Inspired by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resource-agents/+bug/893023 & my recent experience:

The Apache RA calls httpd directly, not, say, through apache2ctl. One of the consequences is that certain setup and sanity-checking usually done by apache2ctl goes undone - including the creation of /var/run/apache2 if it doesn't exist already. This can result in Apache complaining something like "errorNo such file or directory: Cannot create SSLMutex with file `/var/run/apache2/ssl_mutex'"

So I realize this can be partly avoided by setting binary=/path/to/apache2ctl in the crm configuration, so this may actually be a recommendation to add apache2ctl in the HTTPDLIST string in the RA...

Sorry, I realized this is, in fact, taken care of in this upstream library but has not yet hit the ubuntu PPA. (See https://github.com/ClusterLabs/resource-agents/blob/master/heartbeat/apache#L177). Closing.
