Bug 76044 – net-www/apache-2.0.52-r1 (stable) fails to create /var/log/apache2

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roman Gaufman 2004-12-29 10:16:48 UTC]

This is a bug report for the stable version of apache. I know this is fixed in the masked version.

# ls -al /usr/lib/apache2/logs
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 16 Dec 29 13:20 /usr/lib/apache2/logs -> /var/log/apache2
# ls /var/log/apache2
ls: /var/log/apache2: No such file or directory

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Oh, and ofcourse:

# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
 * Starting apache2...
(2)No such file or directory: apache2: could not open error log file /usr/lib/apache2/logs/error_log.
Unable to open logs

Is this different than bug 71741 (duplicated in bug 75129)?

[Comment 3 Roman Gaufman 2005-01-03 11:49:10 UTC]

bug 71741 says "fixed in apache-2.0.52-r2." -- I just checked and -r1 is still the latest stable version. I dont use masked software like many (most?) people, so  therefore this is either a request to get this fixed in -r1 or get -r2 unmasked.

Thanks.

This is caused by a missing directory symlink from /usr/lib/apache2/log ~~> /var/log/apache2 aswell /var/log/apache2 is not created by either apache or the ebuild while installing. Aswell the ssl engine's mutex dir is missing. see bug 79014

Fixed in CVS (stable - apache-2.0.52-r1).
