Thank you for the information.

Ok, I think you mentioned that the semi-colon doesn't work either. But I'd
like to check.

Can you tell me if this works:

[apache-overflows]
enabled = true
port     = http,https
logpath  = /var/log/apache2/error.log;/var/log/apache2/error2.log
maxretry = 2

So, no spaces between the two file paths/names, just a ;

Also I think maybe you might need an extra space if you use the "newline"
method. I think I forgot to say this!

Does this work:

[apache-overflows]
enabled = true
port     = http,https
logpath  = /var/log/apache2/error.log
 /var/log/apache2/error2.log
maxretry = 2

Note that when I pressed enter at the end of the "logpath" line, I then
typed a space before I typed "/var/log/apache2/error2.log

Please try both of those. Fail2ban is very "fussy" about its configuration
files. I have made so many errors while writing configuration files. It is
painful!
