**What type of hardware are you using** : Other ARM board  
**What YunoHost version are you running** : 11.3.0.2  
**What app is this about** : Freshrss

### Describe your issue

My server crashed so I had to install YH from scratch and restore all the applications.

After restoring all the apps I found some problems with Freshrss so I start to look around for some log files, but I couldn’t find any. It turns out that the directory `/var/log/freshrss` didn’t exists.

I checked the scripts in the github repository ([freshrss\_ynh/scripts at master · YunoHost-Apps/freshrss\_ynh · GitHub](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/freshrss_ynh/tree/master/scripts)) and realize that this directory is created in the install script (among other things):

```auto
log_path="/var/log/$app"
mkdir -p "$log_path"
chown "$app":www-data "$log_path"

ynh_config_add_logrotate

touch "/var/log/${domain}-access.log"

ynh_config_add_fail2ban --logpath="/var/log/nginx/${domain}-access.log" --failregex="<HOST> .* \"GET /api/.*\" 401"

```

This directory doesn’t seem to be created in the restore script (or I cannot find where it is created), so I’ve created manually.

However, I have some doubts about the `/var/log/${domain}-access.log`. The install script creates the file, but then uses a different path in the `ynh_config_add_fail2ban` command (note the `/nginx/` directory).

Should I create the `/var/log/${domain}-access.log` as well ? Is there anything more left to do?
