Deleted /var/log directory. .!!!
 

Hi,

curently using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (i586)

by mistake i deleted all the files inside /var/log/ directory

actually file size was around 6GB so wanted to delete unwanted files, without my knowledge i deleted by giving a command "rm -rf *"

now directory is empty!!! :(

what will happen next??? will it effect my pc??
how do i get my logs back??? apache is running, no logs of apache too!!!

and as per the below thread
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...441/?forumid=4

i did "logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf"

but still m not getting any log messages!!!

what could be the issue??

realistically the data is gone, but it's only logs. Does it matter?? Just create it again with the right permissions and off you go.

deleted

I am not worried about the data, but worried about the logs files!
do i have to manually create files again???

assuming apache or system is having a problem/error!!
How can i see logs of it again??

They're just text files dude, nothing interesting. If apache has a problem it will log it. If the file doesn't exist, it will create it. your /var/log/messages file, and most others, is created by logrotate, just a dumb program shuffling files about.

Ok. . :)

so it will auto creates the files!!! That is what i wanted??

anywayz thanks for the reply!!! :) good day ahead!!! :)
