Mac (OSX) Apache cannot start localhost cannot access server []

Problem Description: Apache does not work properly after restarting the computer due to the deletion of the log below/private/var/log.

The purpose of deleting log is: When the system is used for a long time, the log file occupies dozens of g of hard disk capacity.

The result: Apache does not function properly after restarting the computer, and accessing localhost or 127.0.0.1 will not be able to find the server.

Exploration: After the problem occurs, because the $ sudo apachectl start will not report any errors, access to localhost or 127.0.0.1 always fails.

Possible Scenario 1: No 80 ports listening

Exclusion possible 1: My Apache, I am aware that I am listening on 80 ports.

There may be a problem with the configuration of the 2:hosts file

The exclusion may 2:localhost before the problem, and has not changed, ruled out.

Suspect point: 80 port occupied

Exclude suspicion point: Terminal runs $ sudo lsof-itcp:80-stcp:listen, no other program is found to occupy, exclude this doubt.

That's weird! So... (Terminal $ sudo/usr/sbin/httpd-k start) The problem arose: No such file or directory:httpd:could not open error log file/private/var/log/ Apache2/error_log.

Remember that yesterday deleted all log files under Log, and finally create a folder apache2, OK.

The workaround is: in the log directory, create a new folder named Apache2 (Terminal $ sudo mkdir/private/var/log/apache2), and then restart Apache (terminal $ sudo apachectl restart), It will automatically regenerate the logs required by Apache in the Apache2, and will be able to access and use Apache services normally.
