Apache access log and error log locations

The location of Apache access logs and error logs on Ubuntu is defined by the environment variable "APACHE_LOG_DIR".

It is defined in the "envvars" file in the directory where the Apache configuration files are located.

export APACHE_LOG_DIR = / var / log / apache2 $SUFFIX

$SUFFIX is an empty string when only one Apache is running, so the Apache log directory will be "/ var / log / apache2".

sudo ls / var / log / apache2

Except for the latest and the previous access log, it seems to be compressed to GZIP format.
