Public bug reported:
New install of apache2 on ubuntu 11.10. Tried to start it, with
apachectl or service command, and it fails.
$ sudo service apache2 start
* Starting web server apache2
(2)No such file or directory: apache2: could not open error log file
/var/log/apache2/error.log.
Unable to open logs
Action 'start' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
[fail]
I created the directory and it starts fine now.
The apache2 package install should create this directory so the user
doesn't have to.
