Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am trying to set up mod_fcgid on my
server. Part of the requirement is that Apache needs to create a
socket file for mod_fcgid.  I specified the folder for Apache to
write the socket data to:   I then specified this file in my
fcgid.conf file as follows:  SocketPath
/var/lock/apache2/fcgid/sock  I then changed the owner of the
folder to www-data (the apache user) and gave the onwer full
permissions to the folder and its contents.  I was able to run
my test fcgi app then.  When I rebooted the machine, I found
that ownership of /var/lock/apache2/fcgid has been reset to
root, and with permission reset to 700  I have the following
questions:    • Is there something specific about the /var/lock
folder? - why is the permissions being reset after a reboot?
• Should I move my socket file to another location (in case root
automatically takes ownership of contents in this folder for
security reasons?)  I am running Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS 64 bit
