I need to logrotate logs in directories in /var/log/httpd/.
There are 4 directories in /var/log/httpd/... these directories are /var/log/httpd/access/ /var/log/httpd/debug/ /var/log/httpd/error/ /var/log/httpd/required/
Each of the access, required, error and debug directories have around 20 to 30 access log files of different locations for example:mumbai-access.log, pune-access.log etc..same is the case for 'error' dir 'required' dir and 'debug' dir in /var/log/httpd/
I need to clean up the logfiles in all the 4 directories access, error, debug and required...
I have made a custom logrotate file as follows:
Is the above config correct?
Am I missing something? Will this logrotate the files in /var/log/httpd/access, /var/log/httpd/error, /var/log/httpd/required and /var/log/httpd/error ?
Do i need to include following line in postrotate " /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true" ?
We started hosting some very large content on our site, and the usage patterns in cacti have revealed that the HTTP sessions through our load-balancers drop off dramatically right at midnight.
The logrotate process runs right at midnight, and issues a reload command through the service tool (CentOS 5.5): Code: $ cat /etc/logrotate.d/httpd /data/websites/logs/*_log /var/log/httpd/*log { missingok daily dateext compress rotate 7 sharedscripts postrotate /sbin/service httpd reload > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true endscript }
Looking at the init script reveals that the reload section is suppose to trigger a HUP of the httpd process: Code: reload() { echo -n $"Reloading $prog: " if ! LANG=$HTTPD_LANG $httpd $OPTIONS -t >&/dev/null; then RETVAL=$? echo $"not reloading due to configuration syntax error" failure $"not reloading $httpd due to configuration syntax error" else killproc -p ${pidfile} $httpd -HUP RETVAL=$? fi echo }
In which, Apache should reload it's configuration and start the new logfile without breaking current sessions. However that clearly isn't what is going on. I'm tempted to edit the logrotate script to trigger a HUP directly by cat'ing the PID file directly. Is this normal behavior for Apache when signaled with a HUP?
I am trying to configure logrotate on APP/DB servers.As per my backup policy,logs will compress in daily basis and and will be moved to a Central storage device.
My tomcat generate several application logs with date extension as well as .log extension.For eg app.log,app.log.2010-10-23-14,catalina.out,catalina.2010-10-25.log etc.
Currently my tomcat logrotation /etc/logrote.d/ #cat /etc/logroate.d/tomcat/ /usr/local/tomcat/logs/*log {
[code]....
But its rotating logs only with .log extension..ie app.log.2010-10-23-14 (with date extension) is not rotating.If i put "*" instead of "*log",its rotating all files including rotated files. How can i rotate files which is having date extension.Also i dont want to keep rotated logs for more than 3 days.
Is the logrotate.conf settings global/apply to what is in logrotate.d/? I have olddir /var/log/old_logs in logrotate.conf but logrotate is not placing old rsyslogs in /var/log/old_logs for logrotate.d/rsyslog
I have CentOS 5. From sometime logrotate is not working and maillog for example is very big. It is the same for all logfiles. I run "logrotate -d -f /etc/logrotate.conf" but nothing happened. Cron seams to work as I see it with ps -ef |grep cron
Im having problems getting the httpd service to start. Instead of clearing my log files in var/log i accidently did a force remove command on all the log files within the log directory. I'm not unable to start my httpd service and of course unable to check my log files to see whats what.
whenever the log file (test.log) exceeds 100M a new file will be created with the file name as test.'date'.'gz'(new file is created with a current date and in a compressed format of gz) and also with permission mentioned above). I really dont know what is the role of rotate( will this be carried on only for next 4times i mean upto 400MB; (4times*file reaches 100MB)? and also what could be the purpose of postrotate?
I have installed fedora 13 in my system. httpd server is also installed. when I tried to start the service of httpd, following error message displayed: Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
accidentally I do something wrong with my server and the httpd folder missing and I need it to setup my mail server and anyone can help me what can I do without reinstalling my Cent OS? Here is the error msg :
[root@mydomain etc]# service httpd stop Stopping httpd: [FAILED] [root@mydomain etc]# service httpd restart
my task is to store the data to a file at server sent via HTTP POST, i written suitable cgi script in C, but the PROBLEM is that i can't complete the task, I guess i require server permission to do so, how to configure server or how to get access right from server to store data to a file.
I've just upgraded my serv from fedora8 to fedora12 and got a problem. The httpd and vsftpd add a junk in the beginning of html files. Png, tar and other files are ok. When I make a request to localhost everything is ok.
Code: #telnet localhost 80 GET /1.html <html> </html> but from any other computer.
Code: ..... But this is not an apache problem. When I dl html files from ftp I got the same problem. Iptables is swithed off.
Running CentOS 5 x64 And today my httpd is running very slow and I can't find a fix. Looked all over different forums
When starting httpd I get the message: /var/lock/subsys/httpd': No space left on device I checked that directory above and there is no file called httpd tried rebooting server
Can't do updates too: [root@u15438957 ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities rpmdb: unable to join the environment
Recently I noticed that on my Centos 5.4 system, yum no longer works and is giving segmentation faults. I can run "yum --help" and it works, but if I try to run something like "yum upgrade php" it will fault. I also noticed that other things are seg faulting as well, like /usr/sbin/logrotate and /usr/bin/certwatch.
I am guessing there is some sort of common library that needs fixing, but I have no idea what. I've read other posts about the yum segmentation fault and have tried various steps provided but so far no luck in getting it to work again. It used to work, and I rarely change this system so I'm not sure what could have caused it.
i'd like to have logrotate compress the logs that are older than 3 days. Is this possible with logrotate, or do i just schedule a cron job to bzip everything under the folder older than 3 days?
My apache2 logs aren't being rotated, I have 1 log nearing 100MB in size.
Error shown below when a logrotate happens on apache2 logs:
Code: error: other_vhosts_access.log:5381 unknown option 'jack' -- ignoring line error: other_vhosts_access.log:5381 unexpected text "jack" is a sub-domain.
I've been scanning the apache2 docs for the past few days and have not come up with an answer my following issue:
In my httpd.conf file, at the very end, I have the line
Include conf/vhosts/vhost_*.conf
However, when I run apache checkconfig or try to start apache, it gives me the error:
httpd: Syntax error on line 993 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/vhost_1.conf: Permission denied
It appears as if the Include line is correct - in terms of it grabbing the first virtual host conf file. However, I'm confused on the permissions. the /etc/httpd folder is owned by root:root, as are the subfolders. As a test, I chown'd the conf/vhost folder combination and all the vhost files to apache:apache to see if that made a difference, and it appeared to make no difference at all. The log files don't contain anything (assumed because apache isn't starting). If I place the contents of the vhosts in a singular vhosts.conf it works - with the permissions set to root:root. I'd like to avoid having to use one vhosts conf for the configuration I'm trying to achieve - as it would make my life a lot easier.
Before I start writing my own file maintenance script, maybe one such program/scripts already exist somewhere. Am looking for a file maintenance script/application that is configurable that I can use to process files under certain criteria, for example, removing files that are x-number of days old, gzip'ping files if they are core dumped files, removing files if they are zero-sized files etc. Am not sure logrotate is the solution that am looking for.
phpmyadmin files are in usr/share/phpmyadmin but i cant find anything in my apache2.conf or httpd.conf files that point to that directory.How do I find the route taken from the Server root "ServerRoot "/etc/apache2"" to the phpmy admin files.
My predecessor uninstalled the Urchin software from our RHEL5 server, but this /var/log/httpd/sea_urchin log keeps regenerating every Monday. We cannot figure out why. I am assuming it has something to do with logrotate. I am newbie, so be gentle. How can I stop it? Is there something we are overlooking?
I need to activate CGI scripts in the httpd but there is something wrong. I need it to work on the virtual host for ufo.se I get this error message when I try to run a test script:Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/test.cgi on this server.

When creating sub-domains, and creating log files for each domain, do I need to ensure that apache owns the log files, so that it can write to it? As I notice they are owned by root, obviously whom I used to make the file...
