Re: Log rotation and combining...

I believe you need a 'create' statement to set the permissions. Here is an example for mariadb: /var/log/mariadb/general.log /var/log/mariadb/slow_query.log /var/log/mariadb/error.log /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log {     create 640 mysql mysql     daily     minsize 30M     notifempty
