closedHow to automatically create /var/run/wt with right permissions?

Description
Hi.
A common problem that emerges when configuring Wt is Apache's fatal error: cannot create run directory /var/run/wt.
From many posts in the forum, we know that to resolve this is enough create the directory and set the right permissions. On Ubuntu 12.10:
$> mkdir /var/run/wt
$> chown www-data: /var/run/wt
That solves our problem... until the next reboot.
Is there an automatic solution for this? I was thinking in putting these command on crontab, but that doesn't seem the right way to do the work.
Thanks in advance.
David.

This sounds more like an ubuntu question. It seems that the recommended way is to create the /var/run directory during system startup in an init script.
Note that you can configure Wt to use a different directory than /var/run (RUNDIR, a cmake configuration flag, or in wt_config.xml, run-directory in section connector-fcgi.
BR,

Hello, Wim.
Thank you very much for the support.
Following your advices, I solved my problem putting the following piece of code at the end of my /etc/rc.local:
# Create directories at /var/run in order to allow some apache services.
# Currently created:
# /var/run/wt (C++ Web Toolkit default path)
if [ ! -d /var/run/wt ]; then
mkdir /var/run/wt/
chown www-data: /var/run/wt/
fi
exit 0
Now my Wt web site is up and running as soon as the server returns from a reboot.
Thank you for the help.
