Apache2 web server does not start

[Jochen Schmitt]

In Easy Peasy 1.1 the apache2 web server does not start, it complains that it's error log file does not exist:

> sudo apache2ctl start
(2)No such file or directory: apache2: could not open error log file /var/log/apache2/error.log.
Unable to open logs

I guess the reason is that Easy Peasy puts /var/log on a tmpfs? I fixed this by adding an additional check in /etc/init.d/apache2: during start check if the log directory / error log file exists and, if not, create them. Below is the diff between the new and the original (Easy Peasy 1.1) file /etc/init.d/apache2:

150,160d149
< log_daemon_msg "Check existence of log file" "apache2"
< APACHE_TMPDIR=/var/log/apache2
< APACHE_TMPFILE=$APACHE_TMPDIR/error.log
< if [ ! -e $APACHE_TMPDIR ] ; then
< mkdir -p $APACHE_TMPDIR
< fi
< if [ -d $APACHE_TMPDIR ] ; then
< if [ ! -e $APACHE_TMPFILE ] ; then
< touch $APACHE_TMPFILE
< fi
< fi

Is this still a problem in easypeasy 1.5?
