Hello, Today I stumbled on a little issue in Apache. My webhosting company creates log files for each seperate user/domain, so every user is able to download his own access / error logs. The problem occures when the log directory does not exists, when apache receives a SIGHUP (e.g. logrotate)Apache will reload its config file and shutdown immediatly. So, if the log directory is removed by the owner of the domain by accident or because he just wanted to clean up some logs :), apache will just simply shutdown upon a SIGHUP. Apache only seems to do this with log files, if a DocumentRoot does not exist it will just start and display a 404. Same for a ScriptAlias or anything else that uses a directory. It's not really a bug, because you can just set the owner of the log directory to UID root, but still I think it's weird that Apache only dies with a log directory and not with any other directory..
