Summary:                    not honoring PidFile directive in httpd.conf
Description: 
We run multiple web server configurations using the same
/opt/csw/apache2/sbin/httpd binary.  The PidFile directive in httpd.conf is
not being honored; httpd seems to be hard-coded to be written to
/var/run/httpd.pid, which prevents us from running more than one web server
configuration on this server.

We're using the prefork MPM (httpd is linked to httpd.prefork).

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Can you please confirm that you're not overlooking the PidFile value that
gets set in /opt/csw/apache2/etc/extra/httpd-mpm.conf?  Experimentation
locally indicates that this would give the illusion of a hard coded value. 
Alter this allowed me to move the pid file as desired.

Thanks
