I ran into the same problem because I use tmpfs for /var/log and /usr/sbin/cherokee fails if one of the log-dirs does not exist.
<snip> [06/06/2012 18:00:00.123] (error) logger_writer.c:304 - Could not open '/var/log/cherokee/cherokee.error' for appending | This is probably related to the file permissions. Please make sure that it is writable for the user under which Cherokee is run. </snip> IMHO the correct solution would be that the cherokee binary checks for logdir existance and tries to create missing ones. As a workaround I inserted '''if [ ! -d /var/log/cherokee ]; then mkdir /var/log/cherokee; fi''' into line 31 of /etc/init.d/cherokee (Just before the "start-stop-daemon --start" call) This is only a hack because custom log-paths can be configured in /etc/cherokee/cherokee.conf ! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346850 Title: /var/log/cherokee/cherokee.access Not created during deb installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cherokee/+bug/346850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
