Bug#301702: apache2 start failed during restart when logs rotated
Package: apache2
Version: 2.0.53-5
apache stopped then started from logrotate postrotate script:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
When starting it can't bind to port 80 because "Address in use". It
doesn't any errors to logs because no error.log exists (it's rotated you
remember?).
So we and up with apache silently falling each week.
I suggest to use reload rather then restart for postrotate script.
I am using Debian GNU/Linux 3.1, custom kernel 2.4.26-1-686 and stock
libc6 2.3.2.ds1-16.
