All I did was remove all the log files (access.log through access.log.28) written by apache2 in /var/log/apache2/ directory thinking that an apache2 -k restart or apache2ctl restart would rewrite them but it did not. now Im screwed, because everything ive tried is not working. The reason why I did this is because for some reason beyond me apache was no longer writing to access.log.1 . it stopped one day and never continued. Webalizer showed no logs after like the middle of november, and if I did a tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log.1 nothing showed no matter how many times I accessed any site of mine. I never messed with ownership of any directory in /var. error.log shows normal operations, which im curious about? if apache2 is not able to write logs, wouldnt it say something about it? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
