3.9 Secure the Pid File - 'PidFile directory'

Information

The PidFile directive sets the file path to the process ID file to which the server records
the process id of the server, which is useful for sending a signal to the server process or for
checking on the health of the process.

Solution

Modify the directory if the PidFile is in a directory within the Apache DocumentRoot
