Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ4 - Logrotate problems rotating



Jay,
Your a star, I changed the size settings on sites in logrotate.d and
logrotate.onboot to  400M so it won't rotate every night, came in this
mourning, and everything is as it should be.
I have awstats clearing web.log every night, so web.log should never exceed
the 400M.

Again thanks for taking the time out to reply to my post, I really
appreciate it.
I came across the following link as well in my travels, might be helpful
for anyone else that reads this post

Logrotate uses the compress option to gunzip the logs.

/home/sites/site*/logs/web.log {
   daily
   compress
   size 10M
}

Just remove the compress option in your /etc/logrotate.d/site# and copy it
over to /etc/logroate.onboot/site#

If you would like more info about the configuration of logrotate, type man
logrotate at the shell prompt.

One caveat, the GUI will overwrite these changes if you change the site
quota. The only way around it is to edit the Perl Modules for the GUI.

HTH,
j
