I got an error message. This is sent to my mail box automatically. 



/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error opening /var/log/apache2/access.log.1.gz: No such file or directory
error: error opening /var/log/apache2/myhost/access.log.1.gz: No such file or directory


I also check my /var/log/apache2/* and /var/log/apache2/myhost/* those directories. There aren't the file access.log.1.gz, but definitely a file access.log.1 existed on the directories. I just start to configure logrotate this tool for my log file management and my apache have run for a long period, at least 30 log files existed on my directories. Currently, I have no idea why it happened like this.



My /etc/logrotate is as below:



/var/log/apache2/*.log 
 daily

 rotate 10
 compress
 delaycompress
# notifempty
 create 640 root adm
 sharedscripts
 postrotate

  • What do you have in /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate ? You should probably not do it twice, nor apache2 reload in fact but this is what you are doing because of the two types of logs where in fact they pertain to the same "system" (Apache). Also you seem to miss a '*' it sould be *.log twice not just .log. You can also launch logrotate with the -d option to see what it is doing.

  • Hi, I mark one of them due to your saying that the /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate is not existed actually. What do you mean *.log and .log? Here I do not know clearly. I run "logrotate -d apache2" this command. Shows up as below: "removing old log /var/log/apache2/myhost/access.log.1.gz error: error opening /var/log/apache2/myhost/access.log.1.gz: No such file or directory." I check my directory and get list which there are access.log, access.log.1, access.log.2.gz, access.log.3.gz, access.log.4.gz and etc... But, there aren't anyone called as "access.log.1.gz". Is this to make it stop?

  • Hi, I got the recent message on my mail box. <code> /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: error: error opening /var/log/apache2/access.log.1.gz: No such file or directory error: error opening /var/log/apache2/myhost/access.log.1.gz: No such file or directory </code> It miss the first one compressed file only and then don't go through to do the next one. I want to know how to compress the first one either. This may help to let it know and continue to run the script.

  • If your current data is not important I would recommend starting from scratch. Stop Apache, delete all Apache log files, restart Apache, and let logrotate run normally. Otherwise to compress access.log.1 just do gzip access.log.1

If your current data is not important I would recommend starting from scratch. Stop Apache, delete all Apache log files, restart Apache, and let logrotate run normally. Otherwise to compress access.log.1 just do gzip access.log.1

I got fixed.
There are two places modified by my new configuration.
Now, the /var/log/apache2/myhost/ is like below without any alone "access.log.1" and "error.log.1".



What is my configuration on my /etc/logrotate.d as below. I get rid of asterisk and make their name specificlly. Otherwise, I comment "delaycompress" this directive.

/var/log/apache2/myhost/access.log /var/log/apache2/myhost/error.log
daily
missingok
rotate 2
compress
# delaycompress
# notifempty
create 640 root adm
sharedscripts
postrotate
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload > /dev/null;
endscript



Here I add a file /etc/logrotate.conf. I comment out "compress" this also. Then, I execute "sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/apache2". This mean to force it to implement this execution. The result is good. Thanks all.

        I got fixed.
        There are two places modified by my new configuration.
        Now, the /var/log/apache2/myhost/ is like below without any alone "access.log.1" and "error.log.1".



        What is my configuration on my /etc/logrotate.d as below. I get rid of asterisk and make their name specificlly. Otherwise, I comment "delaycompress" this directive.

        /var/log/apache2/myhost/access.log /var/log/apache2/myhost/error.log
        daily
        missingok
        rotate 2
        compress
        # delaycompress
        # notifempty
        create 640 root adm
        sharedscripts
        postrotate
        /etc/init.d/apache2 reload > /dev/null;
        endscript



        Here I add a file /etc/logrotate.conf. I comment out "compress" this also. Then, I execute "sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/apache2". This mean to force it to implement this execution. The result is good. Thanks all.




        # see "man logrotate" for details
        # rotate log files weekly
        weekly



        # keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
        rotate 4

        # create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
        create

        # uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
        compress

        # packages drop log rotation information into this directory
        include /etc/logrotate.d

        # no packages own wtmp, or btmp -- we'll rotate them here
        /var/log/wtmp 
        missingok
        monthly
        create 0664 root utmp
        rotate 1


        /var/log/btmp 
        missingok
        monthly
        create 0660 root utmp
        rotate 1


        # system-specific logs may be configured here
        </code>
