Created attachment 327028 [details, diff] Make sure the mutex directory exists before actually starting Apache
Created attachment 327030 [details, diff] Creating the mutex directory in /var/run once is useless since its contents vanish after next reboot
I have the same problem on my system since I upgraded to Apache 2.4 This is because the mutex directory is created only once, when Apache is built and vanishes after the next reboot while Apache needs it to start. The attached patches fix it.

(In reply to comment #3) > Created attachment 327030 [details, diff] [details, diff] > Creating the mutex directory in /var/run once is useless since its contents > vanish after next reboot Thank you Christophe for the patches. However, you need to create the apache_ssl_mutex directory before calling checkconfig, because it fails otherwise.
Created attachment 327312 [details] Updated patches This archive contains the latest updates of patches that can be applied to solve this bug. Two repositories have to be modified: gentoo-apache and portage.
Thanks for your feedback Tomas. I updated the patches accordingly and compiled them into a single archive. While at it, I also added the possibility to configure the mutex directory within /etc/conf.d/apache
*** Bug 442744 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Almost two month later and I still suffer from this bug. Is there any chance, that it will be fixed in the normal portage tree?
ping! Anybody is reading this?
(In reply to comment #11) > ping! Anybody is reading this? yes, me - but it doesn't help you I fear. Just FWIW I added this line into my init.d - file to fix it: start() { checkpath --directory /var/run/apache_ssl_mutex

The patches of Christophe Vidal does not work for me as expected. I created a local overlay, put the 438758-patch/gentoo-apache-2.4.3.patch in the files directory and patched apache-2.4.3.ebuild with the 438758-patch/portage.patch. Then I generated a new Manifest and reemerged apache. The resulting /etc/init.d/apache2 is identical to the former /etc/init.d/apache2. Thus, I supposed, that I have to modify apache-2.4.3.ebuild further to exploit the gentoo-apache-2.4.3.patch. It needs me almost one hour to find the right method of including the patch. With the attached ebuild and 438758-patch/gentoo-apache-2.4.3.patch of Christophe Vidal it seems to work. Thus my question of Comment 10 is still valid, why these modifications are not as something like apache-2.4.3-r1 included in the standard tree?

It's far easier and less hacky to simply add this line to the conf.d file $(mkdir -p /var/run/apache_ssl_mutex) No need to hack init scripts or ebuilds or anything else until it's properly fixed.
> $(mkdir -p /var/run/apache_ssl_mutex) mkdir -p /var/run/apache_ssl_mutex is enough, does not need the $() expression. (it would execute the string what mkdir would give back, but gladly mkdir doesn't put anything to standard output so there is nothing to execute)
according to this forum post http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7221194.html?sid=c7aba0f3b7eb27c0aa6416ae6ed6c6d5 and this is simplest fix to add to /etc/init.d/apache2 checkconfd() { if [ ! -f /etc/init.d/sysfs ]; then eerror "This init script works only with openrc (baselayout-2)." eerror "If you still need baselayout-1.x, please, use" eerror "apache2.initd-baselayout-1 from /usr/share/doc/apache2-$ fi if [ ! -d /run/apache_ssl_mutex ]; then mkdir /run/apache_ssl_mutex fi

The mutex directory problem is not fixed in 2.4.4.

(In reply to comment #21) > The mutex directory problem is not fixed in 2.4.4. +1 issue still in 2.4.4-r1
This issue is not fixed in apache-2.4.4. In order to fix it, the checkpath command needs to be called before checkconfig.
Actually, it does appear fixed in 2.4.4-r1. For those still reporting the problem make sure that /etc/init.d/apache2 looks like: start() { checkpath --directory /run/apache_ssl_mutex checkconfig || return 1 checkpath --directory /run/apache_ssl_mutex
Err, why do we need a _second_ checkpath after checkconfig?
Created attachment 340518 [details] Improved /etc/init.d/apache2 Actually, in further testing. It is not fixed for all cases. Running /etc/init.d/apache2 checkconfig will also cause the error. Because of this, I firmly believe that the checkpath command needs to belong in the checkconfig function. Since it is relatively small, I have attached my entire init script. Patrick, can we get this pushed into a new ebuild? I'm not familiar enough with the apache ebuilds to do it myself.
In this (trivial) patch there is a slightly more intelligent way of determining the mutex file location: https://gist.github.com/L1048576/4053651 I suggest to use that patch or merge the approach in the last attachement with that sed invocation. Paul, would you please REOPEN this bug in order to your last /etc/init.d/apache2 and this comment get attention?
Reopening, since this is not fixed in the current ebuild
*** Bug 463258 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I was able to fix this problem on my system by editing /etc/init.d/apache2 so that it reads start() { checkpath --directory /run/apache_ssl_mutex checkconfig || return 1 rather than start() { checkconfig || return 1 checkpath --directory /run/apache_ssl_mutex I'm no expert, but it would make sense that the order matters...need to create the directory before checking to see if exists.

Well, the init.d script and the default config is a bit inconsistent. I know a normal Gentoo installation makes a symlink from /var/run to /run, making them effectively the same, but this doesn't mean we shouldn't keep the consistency in default config files. The init script tries to create /run/apache_ssl_mutex, while the config says /var/run/apache_ssl_mutex. I don't think there would be much to change one of them to be the very same with the other, regardless we think /var/run should be a symlink to /run.

yes, comment #45 is reasonable, there shouldn't be failure if /var/run symlink or not.
