I know it is against the rules of this site to say good morning but... "Private /tmp is just like a good idea... it worked for me, it is more safe, so lets redistribute to every unix-man in the world that expects /tmp is /tmp since 1970..." What do you get? Explosion, destruction and your body on fire....
I am trying to disable private /tmp on Debian 9, so i follow the instructions from this site:
https://www.maxoberberger.net/blog/2017/10/debian-9-private-tmp.html
It seems pretty nice but it is not and it is causing some heartache...
When i tried to disable creating a override file on /etc/systemd/system/apache2.service, systemd seems to ignored me completely.
I am needing to edit the file directly in:
/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service
So it works, but that is not really a good idea specially if you upgrade your system... today unatended-upgrade runned and everything is broken because of private tmp, then i need to re-disable it again, we use a web system that communicates with another old system that runs on console ... it communicates via tmp.....
What i am doing wrong should i restart the server?

Good morning and thank you for including all these details :). Only one nitpick: it would be great if you would include all the steps you took, inside the question, i.e. restarting apache. In case the blog author fixes their article, it will be confusing to read this question in future. But thanks for including the link, in general I really like being able to see why the asker expected what they did to work :).

It is missing the step systemctl daemon-reload, to reload the systemd unit file. Do this first, then restart the service
Rebooting the server as a whole would also work, but it is not necessary.
P.S. if you had the same problem as the linked article, with apache wanting to read some files written by a cronjob, you could address this in a more fine-grained way by... not using /tmp for those files. You might be able to configure a directory which is writable by the cronjob, without having to worry about the security problems that come from working with /tmp. I.e. where another UID might be able to steal your hardcoded socket name / subdirectory in /tmp before your desired process can reserve it.
