Can't start Apache after Ubuntu Upgrade

[mhpcomputerservices]

Hello

I have upgraded Ubuntu on my secondary server 9.10 -> 10.04LTS

All seems good, however I do have one small problem.

When a site is configured to use Fast-CGI apache refuses to start with the error:

 * Starting web server apache2    
Syntax error on line 58 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/testing.mhphosting.co.uk.vhost:                                                                                                                                                                                                   
SocketPath cannot occur within <VirtualHost> section

If the website is configured to use SuPHP or any other PHP handler this is not a problem. (Although - I'm not totally convinced suPHP is working either because PHPInfo shows 'Server API: Apache 2.0 Handler' ??)

Searching around only gives me bits of information and no solutions.

There seem to be some suggestions that it is an incompatibility with the new libapache2-mod-fcgid Version: 1:2.3.4-2.

Others suggest it is because my apache configuration was not updated during the upgrade.

As I have only upgraded my secondary server this is not a huge problem yet, the sites that require Fast-CGI are housed on the primary so I shall hold off upgrading that for now.

Here is one of the offending vhost files.

    # add support for apache mpm_itk
    <IfModule mpm_itk_module>
      AssignUserId web55 client1
    </IfModule>


</VirtualHost>

So it seems this is the line it's complaining about:

SocketPath /tmp/fcgid_sock/

Please has anyone got any ideas here?

Thanks

OK, following on from my own post. I'm not sure *why* this has happened but this is how I've got round it:

EDIT /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf/vhost.conf.master

Find:

SocketPath /tmp/fcgid_sock/
      
MaxProcessCount 1000

Change to:

# SocketPath /tmp/fcgid_sock/
      
# MaxProcessCount 1000

Then, via ISPConfig - disable PHP for all sites with Fast-CGI enabled, Save and then re-enable Fast-CGI.

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart.

Apache should then start normally.
