[paul75]

Hello,

 

I test to prepare a sd with the fresh install with the last image in the website 5.25. I installed Apache2 php5 mariadb and it works but when I reboot the system apache don't start it tell that /var/log/apache2 not found. The I created the directory apache2 and restart apache manually => ok it start.

I reboot the system and again it failed withe the same message !*I go to /var/log/ and not see the apache2 created ....

 

 

Thanks for help

Perhaps logram size is too small for your scenario ... disable or debug the ram logging service.

systemctl disable log2ram.service

I have the same problem.

 

In this web: https://github.com/azlux/log2ram

 

I see this, but doesn't work:

 

Customize services :

If you open the file /etc/systemd/system/log2ram.service , you will see a line starting by Before=, you can list here the services who need to start after log2ram. You will need to change this line when a service start too fast and stop running because log2ram mount a ram folder where it has start to write log.

For example, If you use apache instead of nginx, add apache2.service into this line.

I had this exact same issue, but on an ubuntu image (Armbian 5.25, Ubuntu 16.04, pine64) and checked the service status of apache2, and saw the following two errors - sorry, ends were trimmed by SSH scrollback history

(2)No such file or directory: AH02291: Cannot access directory '/var/log/apache2/' for main
(2)No such file or directory: AH02291: Cannot access directory '/var/log/apache2/' for error

I decided to take it on face value, and created the directory, and what do you know... it worked!  This was fresh after installing a new (l)amp stack via sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ on a fresh pressed and updated Armbian image.  Stupid apache2! 

sudo mkdir /var/log/apache2

Same Problem

Armbian uses log2ram for /var/log. And log2ram writes logs to storage every 1 hour.  Basically if you install services and reboot computer before write all changes including new folders be missing

most easy option is for example:

 

sudo apt-get install apache2

sudo log2ram write

sudo reboot

 

and all works fine

 

for confirmation after restart run:

ls /var/log

 

and look for "apache2" folder

 

for chaking if system use log2ram type:

df -h
