Hi all,
My apache logs access and error for all my vhosts but a short while ago he stopped logging system activity. No restarts, no failures at restart etc.
There appears nothing in /var/log/apache2/error.log I set LogLevel trace8.
Where to look to reactivate?
Thx, Pit

Within the global scope, there should be
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
Is there log rotation in your /var/log/apache2/ directory?
Maybe you
| Code: |
cd /var/log/apache2/
zcat error.log-*
|

Maybe you
| Code: |
cd /var/log/apache2/
zcat error.log-*
|
|
gzip: error.log-*.gz: No such file or directory
So, no!
And ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log is in apache2.conf

I looked for logrotate:
/etc/logrotate.conf
| Code: |
# see "man logrotate" for details
# global options do not affect preceding include directives
# rotate log files weekly
weekly
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4
# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create
# use date as a suffix of the rotated file
#dateext
# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
#compress
# packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d
# system-specific logs may also be configured here.
|
And /etc/logrotate.d/apache
| Code: |
/var/log/apache2/*.log {
daily
missingok
rotate 14
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
create 640 root adm
sharedscripts
prerotate
if [ -d /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate ]; then
run-parts /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate
fi
endscript
postrotate
if pgrep -f ^/usr/sbin/apache2 > /dev/null; then
invoke-rc.d apache2 reload 2>&1 | logger -t apache2.logrotate
fi
endscript
}
|
The file httpd-prerotate is missing
ls /etc/logrotate.d
alternatives apt certbot clamav-freshclam dpkg mailman3 minetest-server php8.0-fpm php8.2-fpm redis-server rsyslog ufw
apache2 btmp clamav-daemon dbconfig-common fail2ban mariadb php7.4-fpm php8.1-fpm razor rkhunter samba wtmp
Maybe, here is the problem?
