root@server [~]# /etc/init.d/httpd start
/etc/init.d/httpd: line 83: 7147 File size limit exceeded(core dumped) $HTTPD -DSSL
/etc/init.d/httpd start: httpd could not be started

Fix:-
===

1) Login to the server via ssh

2)Empty the apache error log file which is eating up disk space.

root@server [~]#:> /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log

3)Restart apache

root@server [~]#/scripts/restartsrv_httpd

Issue will be fixed now.

This action has nothing to do with the actual fix.


(log)rotate the logfile instead: there's reasons for logging requests and errors.


Using non-std prompts can be confusing. Better not use those in examples.


That may or may not be a default logfile location depending on FSSTND, FHS, LSB or software defaults.


And that definately is not a default command to restart Apache.


It's not rocket science, it's not an exotic problem and the answer we already got (search LQ).
You could have just written "logrotate logfile, then restart Apache."
So I don't see a need for pushing your web log.
