Disable logging in Apache 2 Ubuntu 9.04

[headlice]

Hi,

How do i go about disabling logging in Apache2?

I edited /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and commented out all lines of logging, yet apache2 wont start.

It says this:

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 /etc/apache2/logs/error_log.

How is it looking for an error log when I commented out the logging?

Thanks!

try removing these lines:


ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined


from

/etc/apache2/site-enabled/000-default

no idea if that will work but worth a shot

Did it. Didnt work. Same error message......

did you add the stuff back into the config when you first got the error message?

All I did was comment it out, so it is there but just commented.

The reason why I dont want logging is because it is on a solid state disk and have my /var/log directory mounted on tmpfs.

Hmmmm, would I be able to point the logs to tmpfs?

so wait, I dont have to manually point logs to tmpfs? Everything that is pointing at /var/log will find it in tmpfs?

Yeah it should if your mounted /var/log to a ram disk..

I do have it mounted there, but it may not be working because if it ever gets shut down, /var/logs/[whatever is after this] gets erased.

.....

I think I know what to do!

Ill specify /var/log/apache2 to mount to tmpfs in /etc/fstab

it supossed to get erased.. its in ram..

right, but all I have specified to mount in tmpfs is /var/log

apache is looking for /var/log/apache2 to put the logs in. If I install apache, it runs just fine because it creates /var/log/apache2

but when I reboot, /var/log/apache2 is gone and throws the error.

To remedy this, Ill specify /var/log/apache2
