Hi there.

Got the above error after running my device for the last few weeks, but there’s no " /usr/local/apache/logs" - where to start searching for the cause of the message.

Thanks in advance.

Apache logs on Debian-based systems are usually under `/var/log/apache2/`

I think this was the same issue as [[FB 20.12][Solved] Plinth fails to start due to new frontpage.py shortcuts and filesystem permissions](https://discuss.freedombox.org/t/fb-20-12-solved-plinth-fails-to-start-due-to-new-frontpage-py-shortcuts-and-filesystem-permissions/994).
