[cobalt-users] log files crash

[Toni Soto <planeta@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

Since 2th of september (today is 23h) I don't have stats from webalizer
in my Raq3. I tried to find out what happened and I noticed that some
'web.log' files are missing or are not updated. It is supossed that
these files they should be in:

/home/sites/site12/logs/web.log
/home/sites/www.mysites.com/logs/web.log

In recently added new sites they simply don't exist. It seems that the
GUI don´t create them when I add a new virtual site. I try it many
times, removing a site and create it again, but I always failed. I don`t
know why.

In some of the old sites (sites added before 2th of september) these
files (web.log, ftp.log, mail.log) exists and some of them  are updated
and others are NOT. Take a look to the examples:

Lists printed on 23th September 09:45 h.

Maybe you wonder why some files have been created at 01:00. My cron job
for logrotate have been set up to 4:00 as usual, but I run manually at
01:00 h......

/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
..and..
/etc/cron.daily/webalizer.pl

.. to check if they work. Anyway, after this manually run process it is
expected that the cron job should have done its job at 04:00 h. but, as
you can see, it didn't do its job very well.

I receive every day an e-mail message as this:
