Have you tried your "workaround"? It will not work and therefore it is a
bug.

First it is `appPidLocation` and not `appPidFileLocation`. Please try
to execute `/examples/simple.php` with the following setting:

System_Daemon::setOption("appPidLocation", "/tmp/simple.pid"); // Error
System_Daemon::setOption("appPidLocation", "/tmp/simple/simple.pid"); //
Error

System_Daemon::setOption("appPidLocation",
"/tmp/simple/simple/simple.pid"); // Works

As I said the package requires that the path to the pidfile requires at
least 4 components what is a bug.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PEAR itself. For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PEAR, please
visit http://pear.php.net/support/ as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.

Thank you for your interest in PEAR.

You should use a full path for appPidFileLocation. "It's own directory",
just means
/var/run/<simple>/simple.pid vs /var/run/<simple>.pid

Description:
------------
I've just git cloned the package and wanted to run example/simple.php as
a normal user not root. Of course the sample complained on the first try
as it could not write to log and pidfile as there are per default would
been written to /var/log/simple.log or /var/run/simple/simple.pid.

I then tried to set the logLocation to `./test.log` and the
appPidFileLocation to `test.pid`.

I got an error err: Since version 0.6.3, the pidfile needs to be in it's
own subdirectory like: %s/simple/simple.pid [l:1463]

and ended up to configure the path like:

System_Daemon::setOption("appPidLocation",
"pid/simple/simple/simple/simple");

what looks really weird. The problem is caused by System/Daemon.php line
1458.

Is there any logic behind this?


Test script:
---------------
I just used examples/simple.php

Expected result:
----------------
Possibility to configure appPidLocation like './simple.pid'

Actual result:
--------------
Since version 0.6.3, the pidfile needs to be in it's own subdirectory
like: %s/simple/simple.pid [l:1463]
