Apache logs empty
Empty Apache Logs:
One morning you find that your apache logs files are empty. These are be many reasons for that like:
- No permission to write logs
- Ready only file system.
- Directory path is not write.
But all these are fine and everything starts working again, you see entries in apache logs, once you restart apache, but this stops again after a day or 2.Reason can be nightly logrorate: Usually found at /etc/logrorate.d/http
var/log/httpd/*log {
daily
missingok
compress
notifempty
dateext
sharedscripts
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null | true
endscript
}
Check where is the pid file for apache. What happens is that during logroate, “/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null | true” fails cause system does not find the pid file. Update the line with the right apache pid location and that should fix the problem with your apache logs.
