Description

Creating an issue for this so it can be tracked.

Been pointed out in:

  http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg01271.html

that on Mandriva Linux, that is is necessary to manually change the mutex directory in mod_python.c source code. Area of code is:

  #if !defined(OS2) && !defined(WIN32) && !defined(BEOS) && !defined(NETWARE)
        char fname[255];

        snprintf(fname, 255, "/tmp/mpmtx%d%d", glb->parent_pid, n);
  #else
        char *fname = NULL;
  #endif

There should be an option to configure program to allow this to be more easily changed.

Way of changing the value through Apache configuration to also be investigated further.
