Restore /var/log/

  • Hi, I did something dumb and need some help.


    I couldn't log in recently due to my log folder filling up my HD partition. I looked online and found someone recommending to delete the contents of the /var/log/ folder which I did without thinking of the consequences. Everything was fine until I rebooted and then couldn't access the webUI since nginx wouldn't start due to the absence of it's log files so I remade them. Now I've noticed that a few other parts of OMV complain that their log files are missing. Is there a repair command that I can run to put back these missing files? I don't want the contents of the logs back but I just need to actual files/folders.


    I'm running OMV on a debian system. Also, I've increased the OS partition so I shouldn't have the problem again.
