Package: lighttpd Version: 1.4.11-3 When logs are rotated using logrotate and the rotation script in /etc/logrotate.d/lighttpd, lighttpd init script is called with the 'reload' parameter.
Within /etc/init.d/lighttpd, this translates to sending the lighttpd process signal 2 (INT). Although this results in a line in the lighttpd logfile mentioning 'Graceful restart', either this does not do as intended, or the privs of the lighttpd process do not allow it to recreate a socket listening on port 80. Thus the http server process remains running (well sleeping, since it has nothing to do), however it is no longer listening on port 80. logrotate notices this problem: invoke-rc.d: initscript lighttpd, action "reload" failed. error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/lighttpd/*.log run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1 I changed my lighttpd init script so the reload function sends signal 1 (HUP) instead of signal 2 (INT). Not sure what really happens when you send it that signal, there is a errer logfile entry about logs being rotated (though obviously the actual rotation is carried out by logrotate...). Signal 1 was used in previous init scripts for lighttpd. Also I noted a discussion you are probably already aware of regarding lighttpd and graceful restarts: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.lighttpd/3752 Cheers Richard Green -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
