Comment 6 for bug 1266400

I can confirm that the server starts fine with no configuration changes (I removed the workaround I had suggested earlier) when I create the file/ var/lib/apache2/fcgid/shm

$ sudo touch /var/lib/apache2/fcgid/shm
$ ls -lah /var/lib/apache2/fcgid/
total 16K
drwxr-xr-x 3 www-data www-data 4.0K Jan 6 13:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4.0K Jan 6 12:55 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Jan 6 13:01 shm
drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 4.0K Jan 6 13:02 sock

It is owned by root and has the same permissions as on my "raring" machine.
