[Bug 1177140] Re: Apache not removing lock directory

[RazorX]

I have updated the bug description with the package version and steps to
reproduce.  Apache runs as www-data out of the box.

** Description changed:

+ This is for package 2.2.22-1ubuntu1.3 .
+ 
  The directory "/var/lock/apache2" appears to not be getting removed when
  apache stops/restarts.  If the user/group apache runs under is modified
  it will fail to start until the folder is manually removed.  This
  appears to be a changed with the latest release and has broken our
  automation.
+ 
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ 1.) Install apache2 via apt-get.
+ 2.) /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
+ 3.) ls -l /var/lock
+ You will notice that the apache2 directory has not been removed.  The init script will check for its existence and ownership at startup, so if you modify the apache user to anything else it will not start until that directory is removed.
