Answering myself... Zbigniew Szalbot:
Dear all,I am trying to use logrotate from ports and I am getting the following error. Can anyone offer any insight?/usr/local/sbin/logrotate -d /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf reading config file /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf reading config info for /var/log/httpd-error.log error: /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf:11 bad olddir path "/var/log/tmp/" error: found error in /var/log/httpd-error.log , skipping error: /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf:11 } expected removing last 1 log configs
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2008-August/147600.html So it seems there is a bug and it has not yet been solved?
The (simple) content of logrotate.conf is below: # rotate apache logs "/var/log/httpd-error.log" { rotate 5 monthly compress delaycompress create size=70k missingok sharedscripts olddir="/var/log/tmp/" postrotate /sbin/killall -HUP httpd endscript }I tried olddir argument with and without =, with and without "", with and without a trailing slash and still getting this error.I am also not sure why it would expect } in line 11?I have read the man but it does not answer my questions or at least I do not see the answers.Many thanks for your advice!
