Is there a way to restore /var/log ? I don't really care about past logs I at least need the dir structure so programs can write to their logs.
For example I went to start apache and it failed because it could not write /var/log/apache2/error.log
I ran sudo mkdir /var/log/apache2 tried again and apache loaded fine.
I am concerned about other programs that may not load because they do not have the ability to write to their log file. I happened to notice apache failing to load as I was working with it at the time. Had I not been updated my apache server this would have gone unknown.
