Describe the bug
After the Installation it throws an 404 Error, when the log directory is writeable by BookStack.
If it is not writeable by the webserver it throws an 500 Error

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Fresh Install
Don't or do set Permissions
See error

Expected behavior
I can login and see a beautiful page

Screenshots
[none]

Your Configuration (please complete the following information):

Exact BookStack Version (Found in settings): 0.29.3
PHP Version: 7.3.14
Hosting Method (Nginx/Apache/Docker): Apache2.3

Additional context
Well, as I said. When I change the permissons and the owners for the folders to the webserver and writeable it throws me an 404 Error.

But when I don't do it, it throws an 500 Error. This one simply says, that it can't create a log due to missing permissions.

And it also didn't create a log file.

Apache related solution.

I just replaced my VirtualHost and it began magically to work.
World's weird, Computers too, GG.
