Question Deleted /var/log -> mailman and maillog not working

hansitheking

Basic Pleskian
I had some problems with a backup and the var/log folder was full (400 GB) so I desided to delete it. I know this was no good Idea! My Server is now running againg I had to create some folders inside /var/log until the Server could reboot without erros. My Server is running but mailman can´t be restarted and the /var/log/maillog is empty.

My System is: Ubuntu 14.04 with Plesk 12.5.3

Is there someone how may give me some advice to get mailman running again? It is showing this:
Code:
service mailman restart
 * Restarting Mailman master qrunner mailmanctl  Kein Kindprozess mit der PID 4476 vorhanden
[Errno 3] No such process
Liegengebliebene pid-Datei entfernt.

Maybee someone can post a ls -l of the /var/log directory, so that I can rebuild it.

Thanks a lot vor your help!
 
For mailman it helps to run /usr/lib/mailman/check_perms and then maybe sudo check_perms -f. Mailman is still not starting.
 
Check permissions:

# stat /var/log/mailman
File: `/var/log/mailman'
Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory
