Happy hunting! Last time when I saved your job there was no time for a thanks!

You must not delete any log files without knowing what happens it is always better to empty them sometimes! And I think you have deleted the whole var/log/apache2 directory? I hope it was only apache2 and not whole /var/log with all subdirectories, because then it's more complicated? Try this:

Code: Select all

mkdir /var/log/apache2
chmod 750 /var/log/apache2
systemctl stop apache2.service
systemctl start apache2.service


This should work if only /var/log/apache2 directory was deleted!
