If you have three versions of apache installed with three different complete
woody setups (different shared objects etc) then you want to create pidfiles
under the same directories. You can do
"chroot /chroot/1/ /etc/init.d/apache start", or
start-stop-daemon --pidfile /chroot/1/var/run/apache.pid -c /chroot/1 apache
but doing:
start-stop-daemon --pidfile /var/run/apache.pid -c /chroot/1 apache
is easier.
It's a minor thing.
