Make name of mutex directory configurable.
------------------------------------------

Key: MODPYTHON-131
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-131
Project: mod_python
Type: Improvement
Components: core
Versions: 3.2
Reporter: Graham Dumpleton


Creating an issue for this so it can be tracked.

Been pointed out in:

http://www.mail-archive.com/python-...g/msg01271.html

that on Mandriva Linux, that is is necessary to manually change the mutex di
rectory 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 easi
ly changed.

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