Logrotate error.log

[Andreas0815]

Hi!

Logrotate for Websites access.log works fine but error.log doesn't rotate.

How to change this?

Thank you!

EDIT: Found the solution here: Upgrade to 3.0.3 Beta.

[Andreas0815]

Well... the error.log rotation still don't work on 3.0.3 beta

On my server the error.log gets rotated when it exceeds 10 MB in size. Maybe you have commented out the cron_daily.sh cronjob in the root crontab on your server?

Hi Till,

the error.log is more than 60MB. I didn't comment anything out and the access.log rotation works fine...

[till]

I've just tested the rotation of the website error.log by creating a 11 MB error.log file and then running the cron_daily.sh script with the current SVN version and it worked on my test server.

With 3.0.3 RC it still don't work

Here is my /usr/local/ispconfig/server/cron_daily.sh:

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

/usr/bin/php -q /usr/local/ispconfig/server/cron_daily.php

So nothing is commented out.
The error.log is in located at /var/www/clients/clientX/webY/log/error.log, like the access.log. For the access.log the rotation works fine, like I wrote.

What am I doing wrong?

You seem to be correct Andreas.
/usr/local/ispconfig/server/cron_daily.php does not have anything in it for error.log.

We had to add this in a cron job to handle error logging with one of our Heavy Duty sites.

00 09 * * 0 /bin/cat /dev/null > /var/www/HEAVY-DUTY-SITE/log/error.log


The 400M error.log was killing the whole servers network connectivity


And then the phones started ringing in the middle of the night.

Then you dont run ISPConfig 3.0.3. From cron_daily.php ispconfig 3.0.3 line 222:

// rotate and compress the error.log when it exceeds a size of 10 MB
	$logfile = escapeshellcmd($rec['document_root'].'/log/error.log');
	if(is_file($logfile) && filesize($logfile) > 10000000) {
		exec("gzip -c $logfile > $logfile.1.gz");
		exec("cat /dev/null > $logfile");
	}

You are right. That particular server was older version.
