Re: [CentOS] Logrotate errors

2014-04-10 Thread Marios Zindilis 
Logrotate, by default, runs daily (not hourly) and renames the log files
that it rotates by appending to them the current date. In your case, you
are running it hourly, so it only runs successfully only once a day. The
second time that it will attempt to run in the same day, it will find that
there already exists a rotated file with the appended date for that same
day, and fail.

So, either run it daily, or change the renaming scheme.

 Hi all,

 It seems the problem if with this logrotate.conf (executed every hour):

  According to this kb from redhat's website:

  problem could be selinux. But SElinux is disabled:

  Any idea?? Could be a bug??

Re: [CentOS] Logrotate errors

Yep, Marios and Steven are right ... I have changed dateformat for one
log file and I have done another test changing time rotations ... And
all works ok.

Many thanks for your help.

 destination /srv/www2/logs/viewer.log-20140409 already exists, skipping 
 rotation

I'd think logrotate does not expect to find an already existing half-rotated 
file?
Maybe this file is supposed to be compressed '.gz'?
Can you show ls -l /srv/www2/logs/viewer.log* ?
