http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43502 Summary: httpd fails to start if log directory does not exist; though httpd -t passes Product: Apache httpd-2 Version: 2.2.6 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Core AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If httpd is configured to log to a file in a non-existing directory, it refuses to start up, e.g.: [Fri Sep 28 03:58:13 2007] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down (2)No such file or directory: httpd: could not open error log file /etc/httpd/logs/mailman/error_log. Unable to open logs It's useful when restarting Apache to check if any configuration changes will prevent the restart from being successful (and thus result in down time when the restart command is issued). However the configuration syntax check doesn't check if log file directories exist and so doesn't catch this problem Other non-existing directories (for serving files out of etc) don't prevent the entire process from starting up and so aren't such critical errors. It would be great if either 1) the inability to create a log file did not prevent httpd from starting 2) the config test (or another test) checked for this condition (and possible other config options that would prevent startup) -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
