/etc/httpd/run is usually a symlink to ../../var/run/httpd (which should
ultimately be /var/run/httpd).  Do an "ls -l" on /etc/httpd/run and
make sure it's not a broken link.  In other words, make sure that
/var/run/httpd exists, is owned by root:apache and has 710 (rwx--x---)
permissions.

Something I've found recently is that my /var/run/httpd and /var/run/mod_mono directories keeps being deleted. Once I manually create them with ownership given to apache, I'm able to get apache to run again. Try checking to make sure that /var/run/httpd exists. If not try creating it. I'm not sure if there's a bug report created for it yet or not, but I've noticed it's happened twice in the past month in rawhide.

Hope this helps,

Steven Hadfield

the httpd package hasn't been updated for the tmpfs on /var/run changes
yet. Bugreport (including a workaround):
