Lamp server doesn't restart

  • 772

I'm new with Ubuntu and Terminal, I have Ubuntu 18.04. First time I installed LAMP server using tasksel...and everything was working fine, and then, after some time, I can't start anything. I tried to use some commands but all i see is: can't restart because of error.

I remove all thinking it might help, and then it's all good. But i don't want to delete and install every time that server. Can somebody tell me what might be the problem and how to fix it?

If I use sudo apache2ctl restartthis happens:

(2)No such file or directory: AH02291: Cannot access directory 
'/var/log/apache2/' for main error log
(2)No such file or directory: AH02291: Cannot access directory 
'/var/log/apache2/' for error log of vhost defined at 
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1
AH00014: Configuration check failed  
Action 'restart' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

EDIT: now everything's working except mysql service. I tried systemctl status mysql.service and this happened:

● mysql.service - MySQL Community Server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mysql.service; enabled; vendor 
preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2018-07-10 19:53:53 CEST; 
6s ago
Process: 6021 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/mysqld --daemonize --pid- 
file=/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid (code=exited
Process: 6012 ExecStartPre=/usr/share/mysql/mysql-systemd-start pre 
(code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Why I can't restart it or anything?? Please help

    The error message you got is pretty self-explanatory:

    No such file or directory: AH02291: Cannot access directory '/var/log/apache2/'

    Make sure the directory /var/log/apache2/ exists, and if it does not, create it and launch Apache again.

    While this directory should be made on installation, sometimes the package manager does a stupid and doesn't create it. So you can recreate it fairly easily with sudo mkdir /var/log/apache2/ and it should then work.
