Accidentally deleted /var/log/apache2 and now can't restart apache [closed]

Question

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and apache2 and ispconfig 3. Just a few hours ago I accidentally deleted /var/log/apache2 folder include files, now my server can't restart apache2, how can I restore them? or is that log folder and file will auto create by system, when reboot server?

When I restart apache2

 * Restarting web server apache2                                         [fail]
 * The apache2 configtest failed.
Output of config test was:
AH00548: NameVirtualHost has no effect and will be removed in the next release /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-ispconfig.conf:61
(2)No such file or directory: AH02291: Cannot access directory '/var/log/apache2/' for main error log
(2)No such file or directory: AH02291: Cannot access directory '/var/log/apache2/' for error log of vhost defined at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1
AH00014: Configuration check failed
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

Try creating that empty directory and give write permissions. mkdir -p /var/log/apache2/ chmod -R 755 /var/log/apache2/ – Gobetween

Thanks, This works for me. but i have to run these whenever i start my system. is there any permanent solution for this ? – Canard

@user3888958 Perhaps you deleted the unused file (such as: log file, cache, etc). It also happens to me after I run Stacer to clean cache files. I know it's kinda fool not to read what would Stacer delete. – Declaim

No changes required. I have only added tmpfs /var/log/apache2 tmpfs defaults,noatime 0 0 in /etc/fstab. Then restart computer. And fix it on my Ubuntu 16.04.
