Bug#248659: apache2-mpm-worker: error writing log files

[Thilo Pfennig <tp@alternativ.net>]

Package: apache2-mpm-worker
Version: 2.0.49-1
Severity: normal

I have a strange error since a few days: Apache2 only writes to logfiles with the name "$filename.log.1" and not "$filename.log" (these are now null byte files)

This results in empty stats with Awstats (well, or is this an error of logrotate or awstats?)


Example listing:

$ ls -l /var/log/apache2/www.alternativ.net.log*
-rw-r-----    1 root     adm             0 2004-05-09 06:49 /var/log/apache2/www.alternativ.net.log
-rw-r-----    1 root     adm       6118076 2004-05-12 18:46 /var/log/apache2/www.alternativ.net.log.1
