pip list | grep pulp

This provides reconnect support for PostgreSQL and Redis. Without reconnect support, if either

is not available at startup or becomes disconnected, this process will die and not respawn.

This directive is set to an absolute path in other Pulp units. Using an

absolute path is an abuse of the directive, as it should be a relative path,

not an absolute path. PIDFile is now used to ensure that PID files are laid

out in a standard way. If this directive had any other effects, it is better

to use the correct directive than to uncomment this.

Thus I'm unable to run the api part of the system.
