Lighttpd

In the following situation:

1. Centos/RHEL Version 5 (Tested on 5.1, assuming it affects 5.0 too, does not happen on 4.6)

2. server.pid-file is set in the configuration file to be somewhere other than /var/run/lighttpd.pid

3. Chroot is being used

The rc.lighttpd.redhat fails to detect a running copy of lighttpd as it cannot find the pid. This is because the __pids_pidof function in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions has been changed between RHEL 4 and RHEL 5 to use "pidof -c" instead of just "pidof" which means it will only find processes running in the same root folder. When lighttpd runs with chroot, this is not the case, so unless the pid file is in /var/run/lighttpd.pid, it is not found.

It can be fixed by manually including the old version of the function in the script below the inclusion of /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions to override the version defined in that file.

__pids_pidof() {
pidof -o $$ -o $PPID -o %PPID -x "$1" || \
pidof -o $$ -o $PPID -o %PPID -x "${1##*/}"
}
