You must have followed this tip in Ubuntu on the EeePC to reduce drive writes:
- Put data that is not needed long-term on a tmpfs, which is written to memory. Below is an example:
tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 tmpfs /var/log/apt tmpfs defaults 0 0
When you start apache2 after applying that tip you will see this error
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
(2)No such file or directory: apache2: could not open error log file /var/log/apache2/error.log.
Unable to open logs
Here is the fix:
- Comment out this line from the tip
# tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults 0 0 - Create this file:
/var/log/apache2/error.log - And then start apache2 again
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
