I already tried both methods, and even tried spaces after the line.
Maybe I got a buggy version of Fail2Ban.

Thank you for the information.

Ok, I think you mentioned that the semi-colon doesn't work either. But I'd like 
to check.

Can you tell me if this works:

[apache-overflows]
enabled = true
port = http,https
logpath = /var/log/apache2/error.log;/var/log/apache2/error2.log
maxretry = 2

So, no spaces between the two file paths/names, just a ;

Also I think maybe you might need an extra space if you use the "newline" 
method. I think I forgot to say this!

Does this work:

[apache-overflows]
enabled = true
port = http,https
logpath = /var/log/apache2/error.log
 /var/log/apache2/error2.log
maxretry = 2

Note that when I pressed enter at the end of the "logpath" line, I then typed a space before I typed "/var/log/apache2/error2.log

Please try both of those. Fail2ban is very "fussy" about its configuration files. I have made so many errors while writing configuration files. It is painful!

    For example this will error:

    [apache-overflows]
    enabled = true
    port     = http,https
    logpath  = /var/log/apache2/error.log
    /var/log/apache2/error2.log
    maxretry = 2


    ERROR  Failed during configuration: Source contains parsing errors: 
'/etc/fail2ban/jail.local'
            [line 883]: '/var/log/apache2/error2.log\n'


    But this will not error:

    [apache-overflows]
    enabled = true
    port     = http,https
    logpath  = /var/log/apache2/error.log
    maxretry = 2

    And this will not error:

    [apache-overflows]
    enabled = true
    port     = http,https
    logpath  = /var/log/apache2/error2.log
    maxretry = 2


    /var/log/apache2/error2.log is a substitute name.

    Maybe there is a small mistake somewhere in the configuration?

    Please paste the jail's configuration here - we will use "fresh eyes" to 
see if we can find the problem :-)

        I figured that was it, but then wondered surely he knows it's disabled.

        I thought spacing was working before, but it's not, nether does ";" and 
nether does a new line. So I just put
        the others on new lines, and commented them out. That works :-) sortof 
:-)
