** Description changed: Binary package hint: apache2 - If $APACHE_LOG_DIR (as defined in /etc/apache2/envvars), server startup - fails. + If $APACHE_LOG_DIR (as defined in /etc/apache2/envvars) does not exist, + server startup fails. - This situation is extremely common on a host that has a root filesystem - SSD. In this case, /var/log may be put on a ramdisk that is created on - each boot. + This would happen, for instance, if /var/log is on a ramdisk. That is + something commonly done for systems that use an SSD drive. Putting logs + on a ramdisk avoids wearing out the SSD flash memory. - It would be helpful if the apache initscript createad the log directory - if needed. + It would be helpful if the apache initscript createad its log + subdirectory if needed.
