I am using Ubuntu Studio 12.04 and when I am trying to start apache2, I get this error message:

No such file or directory: apache2: could not open error log file /etc/apache2/$ apache_log_dir /error.log

This meas, I should have a path like this /etc/apache2/var/log/apache2/ but in envvars the log dir is defined as /var/log/apache2$SUFFIX not /etc/apache2/

How can I fix this.

Look at your vhosts-files in /etc/apache2/sites-available/<vhost>. In these files are defined where to find the error log for a specific website (not the global log) i.e. "default".

There are two variables to do this and per default they look like this:

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

Make sure that /var/log/apache2/ exists before you start apache!
