JWS 3.0.3 (httpd24 <= 2.4.6-61.ep7.el7) in RHEL 7 fails to create /run/httpd24 after reboot

Issue

• We installed JWS 3.0.3 httpd24 rpm packages in RHEL 7 per the Installation Guide and all was well until a reboot, after which point httpd24.service failed to start with the following errors:

  ~]# systemctl status httpd24 -l

• When installing the JWS3, the /run/httpd24 directory is created at install time but not recreated after reboot, preventing httpd24 from starting.
