how to create extra LogDir and using apache/vhosts/standard.sls and hanling apache-reload?

[Sylvain303]

I would like to create some extra dir for apache:sites, managed through apache.vhosts.standard state.

I would like to add log_dir creation before apache is restarted, dir are created by an external state create_dir.sls

But when running state.highstate, apache is complaining that error reloading, because a2ensite is launching apache-reload before LogDir are created.

What would be the way to add LogDir creation before vhosts?
I don't necessarily need to alter the formula, I just want to introduce my own step.

pillar top.sls

# Pillar top inclusions
base:
  '*':
    - customers
  'web*':
    - webserver # stantdard pillar config
    - auto.webconfig # sites are separated here

I added a LogDir key for that purpose (could be dirname calculated, but that's another story)

auto/webconfig.sls

apache:
  sites:
    client1-domain.fr:
      # template_file: salt://webserver/vhosts/minimal.tmpl
      ServerName: client1-domain.fr
      ServerAlias: www.client1-domain.fr
      ServerAdmin: webmaster@webmaster.com

      LogLevel: warn
      LogDir: /home/client1/logs
      ErrorLog: /home/client1/logs/error.log
      CustomLog: /home/client1/logs/access.log

      DocumentRoot: /home/client1/vhost/www

      Directory:
        default:
          Options: -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
          Order: allow,deny
          Allow: from all
          Require: all granted
          AllowOverride: None

state

top.sls

base:
  '*':
    - fail2ban
    - salt-minion
  'web*':
    - apache
    - apache.modules
    - apache.mod_fastcgi
    - webserver.php-fpm
    - webserver.create_dir
    - apache.vhosts.standard

webserver/create_dir.sls

# create users dir not created by the formula
#
{% for id, site in salt['pillar.get']('apache:sites', {}).items() %}
{% set logdir = site.get('LogDir') %}

{{ id }}-logdir:
  file.directory:
    - unless: test -d {{ logdir }}
    - name: {{ logdir }}
    - makedirs: True
    - allow_symlink: True
{% endfor %}
