I used to teach it to my students as a technique for getting a *really* temporary private file (combined with O_EXCL). I'm about to try this, and I may change it a bit because when I restarted apache, reload didn't work. I had to stop it and restart it. Maybe I'll submit a bug if I can make sense out of what happens with 'reload' and it always happens. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD

Does your /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 script contain something like this:
/var/log/apache2/*log {
missingok
notifempty
sharedscripts
postrotate
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload /dev/null 21 || true

Ok, as root, try lsof | grep apache and see if there are any open log

IIRC apache fails to start if it cant write to the log directory - could be
wrong on that tho.
Well, the results are sort of consistent with what I'm seeing, but I have a

So I looked in /var/log/apache2 and found that no files have been touched since February. Are permissions correct for the apache user to created and write to files? Does syslog show any messages from Apache?

Re: [gentoo-user] Apache is running but its log is not
Okay, there was already a thread about that, and my Python problem seems solved. I still have no log entries. Ok, as root, try lsof | grep apache and see if there are any open log files. You may need to emerge lsof first if you dont already have it. IIRC apache fails to start if it cant write to the log directory - could be wrong on that tho.
Re: [gentoo-user] Apache is running but its log is not
How do I find out where/if Apache thinks its logging things? In /etc/apache check httpd.conf and modules.d/00_mod_log_config.conf
