xubuntu error-logs location

Question

The etc/apache2/sites-available file for my website has a location for my error logs set as the following:

${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

The problem is I don't know the value of APACHE_LOG_DIR.

Someone suggested looking in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf but that file is completely empty. Where are my error-logs?

Answer 1

On my system it's the folder /var/log/apache2/, try

grep -i APACHE_LOG_DIR /etc/apache2/*
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf:ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
/etc/apache2/envvars:export APACHE_LOG_DIR=/var/log/apache2$SUFFIX

to find out where yours is. Or check the file /etc/apache2/envvars where the variable is set.
