[2025-04-25 10:26:07] error: Unable to open log file for apache-traffic.log

And /var/log/apache2/error_log

AH00106: piped log program '/usr/local/cpanel/bin/splitlogs --main=apache-traffic.log --mainout=/var/log/cpanel-server-traffic/web/traffic-apache.log' failed unexpectedly

 

Description

The new packages provide a new log location to collect extra traffic logs for Apache and nginx.

However the log file /var/log/cpanel-server-traffic/web/traffic-apache.log was not created automatically resulting in the above mentioned errors.

The reason for that is a package ea-cpanel-tools that was not updated due to 2 repositories that are outdated cl-ea4 for Cloudlinux and imunify360-ea-php-hardened for Almalinux with Imunify360 installed.

More details on the latest update you can find in the below changelog: 

https://docs.cpanel.net/changelogs/easyapache-4-change-log-25/

We've opened an internal case for our development team to investigate this further. For reference, the case number is ZC-12792. Follow this article to receive an email notification when a solution is published in the product. 

 

Workaround

Remove the package and install the updated one disabling the outdated repost.

For Almalinux 8.1 and 9.5

rpm -e --nodeps ea-cpanel-tools
dnf install ea-cpanel-tools --disablerepo=imunify360-ea-php-hardened

For Cloudlinux 

rpm -e --nodeps ea-cpanel-tools
dnf install ea-cpanel-tools --disablerepo=cl-ea4

Finally restart the Apache server.
