Use something other than logrotate? Three possibilities: * rotatelogs This is a utility that comes with Apache. To use it, you need to modify your apache config to change the logging directives. Instead of (eg.) CustomLog "/var/log/httpd-access.log" common You'ld use: CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs \ /var/log/httpd-access.log 86400" common which will generate a new log file every day at midnight, labelled by the date as the standard seconds-since-the-epoch unit time. (Other time formats can be applied) * cronolog -- in ports as sysutils/cronolog This is rotatelogs on steroids -- it lets you use strftime(3) format codes to build the path and/or filename the logfile is saved as, so you could have a scheme giving paths like: /var/logs/apache22/2011/01/23/virtual-host-name/access_log [One advantage of rotatelogs or cronolog for busy sites -- you get log file rotation without any requirement to restart apache at all. One disadvantage: neither of these programs *delete* over-aged log files. You'll need to write a very small cron job to do that bit.] * newsyslog -- part of the base system. You can use wildcards to match a range of different file names. If you rotate the logs based on age or size, it /should/ only do one cycle per invocation. (Not tested -- so may be completely bogus). Something like: /home/*/logs/access_log 644 14 * 24 GJ /var/run/httpd.pid 30 added to /etc/newsyslog.conf should get you log files rotated once every 24h with two weeks worth kept on hand. Otherwise, you could rearrange your directory structure to give you a unique path distinguishable by globbing. So, instead of having: /home/domain1.com as the real directory and sym-linking domain1.net -> domain1.com domain1.org -> domain1.com Make the directory be: /home/_domain1/ and create symlinks: domain1.com -> _domain1 domain1.net -> _domain1 domain1.org -> _domain1 Then you can wildcard as '/home/_*/logs/access_log' [Note '_' was chosen because that character is specifically disallowed in host / domain names: it's guaranteed not to accidentally collide] Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matt...@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Logrotate
Hi all,
Not sure if there is a better list to ask this, so here goes.
I use logrotate to rotate the apache log files within each domains log
directory. They are in the home directory as such:
/home/domain1.com/logs/access_log
/home/domain2.com/logs/access_log
/home/domain3.com/logs/access_log
...
In the home directory, I also have symlinks that point to specific domain
directories, example
cd /home
domain1.ca -> domain1.com
domain1.net -> domain1.com
domain1.org -> domain1.com
someothername.com -> domain1.com
...
All this have beein said, when I use logrotate, it rotates the logs within
the directories that have sym links pointing to them over and over again. In
the case of domain1.com, the log would be rotated 5 times.
I am using a logrotate.conf container that looks like so:
# more logrotate.conf
...
/home/*/logs/access_log {
missingok
rotate 14
daily
create 644 root
}
...
So, obviously because I am using a wildcard within the container logrotate
is going through the symlinks and rotating the logs over and over.
Is there a way or method to ignore the symlinks (or a workaround) that
anyone knows of, other than making a logrotate.conf container for each
individal directory.
Thanks all,
-Grant

Aswell as doing what Jeremy Chadwick mentioned, you might want to use
newsyslog(8) to rotate your logs.
It's got a couple of advantages that I know of: it's part of the base
system and it gracefully sends Apache a signal (SIGUSR1) to stop it
writing to the logfile before it rotates it.
You want something like the following in newsyslog.conf(5):
/var/log/httpd-access.log 644 5 200 * B/var/run/httpd.pid 30
Obviously, adjust the parameters to suit your needs. You want the 30
at the end. All explained in the manpage.

The problem is that you're using a wildcard in your log list:
/home/*/logs/access_log is going to expand to:
/home/domain.com/logs/access_log
/home/domain2.com/logs/access_log
/home/domain3.com/logs/access_log
/home/...anythingelse.../logs/access_log
So the software will do exactly what you asked for.
What we use on our production webservers:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""
combined
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd-access.log" combined
This puts the VirtualHost name being accessed as the first field
in the logfile. Every night, via a cronjob, we split the file
up per VirtualHost using a script that comes with Apache called
split-logfile. E.g.:
cd where_you_want_the_logs
/usr/local/sbin/split-logfile < /var/log/httpd-access.log
This will make a separate logfile per virtual host name, and you
can do whatever you want from there on out.
There's a performance advantage here as well: one logfile means only
one file descriptor open, which is Good(tm). Multiple logfiles opened
under Apache does not scale well.

Logrotate
Hi all,
I have recently started using logrotate to rotate all the logs in the users
home directories. These are all apache logs files.
/home/domain.com/logsaccess_log
/home/domain.com/logsaccess_log.0.gz
/home/domain.com/logsaccess_log.1.gz
/home/domain.com/logsaccess_log.2.gz
I have a problem though. Some of my domains have softlinks pointing to them,
this causes the logs to be rotated 2 or more times (i.e. 1 time for the
'real' directory, and 1 time each for each softlink pointing to them).
Example
/home/domain.com/logs/
domain2.com -> domain.com
domain3.com -> domain.com
will result in the 'access_log' being rotated 3 times in one run, causing my
log dirs to look like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt 160 Oct 1 05:44 access_log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt 446 Oct 1 05:44 error_log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt20 Oct 1 03:46 access_log.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt20 Oct 1 03:46 access_log.2.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt20 Oct 1 03:46 access_log.3.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt20 Oct 1 03:46 access_log.4.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt20 Oct 1 03:46 access_log.5.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt20 Oct 1 03:46 access_log.6.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt 224 Oct 1 03:46 access_log.7.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt20 Sep 30 03:46 access_log.8.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt20 Sep 30 03:46 access_log.9.gz
Here is this appropriate part of my logrotate.conf
# logrotate.conf
compress
...
/home/*/logs/access_log {
missingok
rotate 14
daily
create 644 root
sharedscripts
postrotate
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl restart
endscript
}
# End of logrotate.conf
Question, is there a way to stop this from happening?

Duh! It's probably some other binary that is missing libintl.so.5 (you probably yanked it out from underneath when doing a previous upgrade - if you'd used portupgrade, this wouldn't have happened because it saves copies of the old libraries in case they're still in use). gmake is a likely candidate; you'd need to rebuild it.

libintl.so.5 issue when installing logrotate
Hi, I ran into a rather funny issue (fbsd 5.3-release, i386). I have an updated ports tree (that is: twice per week cron updates it using cvsup). Now, I tried installing /usr/ports/sysutils/logrotate (make install) O.k., it failed, mentioning that it required gettext version 0.13 or higher. No problem, just install that, right? O.k., so I installed /usr/ports/devel/gettext (make deinstall, make reinstall) All fine so far (it installef version 0.14.1). Then I tried again to make install the /usr/ports/sysutils/logrotate and again it failed, this time the error is: [...] ===> Building for logrotate-3.7_3 /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.5" not found Hmmm, no what can that be? A quick look-up on Google shows: http://tomster.org/geek/freebsdcookbook/tidbits/gettextupgrade Nice, a "chicken and the egg" problem: logrotate requires gettext 0.13 or higher, but when installing that, apparently out goes a required library! Duh! The same page mentions the following: "The solution is to force the upgrade of the already currently installed version of gettext (by using the -f option) and doing the upgrade recursively (by using the -r option)." I guess this means doing a pkg_add -f -r as opposed to "make install-ing" the port, right? Now, before doing this (and possibly messing up the installation by doing a force install), has anyone already done this, and is this really the best solution?

You could use the built in log rotation in Bind. Change your log line to, for example:
file "/var/log/query.log" print-time yes; versions 5 size 10m;

Using Bind9.2.2, and I have query logging turned on:

After a logrotate, it stops logging completely. The permissions
are correct, and all I have to do to make it start logging again
is: "rndc reload".
Anyone heard of this? Any ideas?
What do you mean by "a logrotate"? Do you mean a run of the
newsyslog program? Or are you using some other program?

Bind query logging stops after a logrotate.
FBSD 5.1:
Using Bind9.2.2, and I have query logging turned on:
logging {
channel "querylog" { file "/var/log/query.lo~g"; print-time yes; };
category queries { querylog; };
};
After a logrotate, it stops logging completely. The permissions are
correct, and all I have to do to make it start logging again is: "rndc
reload".
Anyone heard of this? Any ideas?
TIA,
-Charlie
