we have set logrotate for rotate mysqld.log daily
file is compress, deleted and created from logrotate but mysql not write anything
Any idea about why?
In Plesk 11.5 I set log rotation to once a day and to keep 365 files. But I can only find 13 files (only one access_log) in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain/log. But Plesk tells me that 100 GB are used for the logs (the 13 files only have about 3 GB). Where are the files? In previous versions (before 11.5) I always had the files (named .1, .2 etc) in the same log directory.

I have this working on IBM HTTP installations. IBM's HTTP is based on Apache 2.2. why the CustomLog command is not working? The command under my Virtual Hosts that I am using is:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName xxxxxxxx
DocumentRoot C:wampwww

I am trying to set up log rotation on my Apache Server on Windows 2008 using the rotatelogs.exe executable. I believe I am having issues because my directory path has spaces.
From my understanding, a full path is needed for the ErrorLog but not for the CustomLog
ErrorLog "|"C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2/bin/rotatelogs.exe" "C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2/logs/Error/Error_%Y-%M-%D.log" 86400"
CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs.exe logs/Access/Access_%Y-%M-%D.log 86400" common
The error that I get is:
C:Program Files (x86)Apache Software FoundationApache2.2bin>httpd.exe -k start
The system cannot find the path specified.
When I specify log rotation settings for domain xyz.com in Plesk panel I expect them to be saved in /etc/logrotate.d/xyz.com file, at least this is the expected behaviour according to Plesk12 Admin Guide: [URL] ....
Apparently, it doesn't happen and I don't have xyz.com file in /etc/logrotate.d/
Log rotation doesn't seem to work either, at least it doesn't work for error.log
I read somewhere that log rotation feature has to be specially enabled in Plesk but I couldn't find specifics anywhere.
All domains were offline this morning. Plesk showed the following error message. It seems we are beta testing the software. I am on Suse 13.1, clean install.
Unable to rotate dump: The dump rotation is failed with code '1' at /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/plesk_agent_manager line 1041.
Warning: domain "abc.com"
The domain 'abc.com' may be inaccessible after backup. Please, resume it manually!
Warning: domain "abc.com"
Cannot resume domain 'abc.com' (ErrorCode: 255, STDOUT [Error:].
For a particular domain I've got it set to:
Log rotation condition: By size (1024 KB)
Maximum number of log files: 5
Compress log files: Yes
...however the access_log.processed is at 20.4MB. Is this correct? I would have thought it could only get to 5MB in total?
How do I restrict the size of access_log.processed?
1/ What is the difference between maillog and maillog.processed? I want to keep a permanent record of all mail inbound and outbound even if delivery is deferred by the gray listing. I'm not sure which one is the best to keep.
2/ I would like to change the way that the mail logs get log rotated. I am struggling to work out exactly what happens at the moment but I would like to rotate the log out every day regardless of size. I think currently that the maillog.processed is rotated daily if it is over a specific size.
I have enabled the backup rotation of some websites to my "Personal FTP Repository", the problem is that Plesk is unable to do it due this error:
Code:
Unable to rotate dump: The dump rotation is failed with code '121' at /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/plesk_agent_manager line 1041.
I read here [URL] .... that it should be solved but I have the version 12.0.18 Update #33, why does it persist?
