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

     missingok

     rotate 10

     compress

     delaycompress

#    notifempty

     create 640 root adm

     sharedscripts

     postrotate

                 /etc/init.d/apache2 reload > /dev/null;

     endscript

     prerotate

             if [ -d /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate ]; then 

                     run-parts /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate; 

             fi; 

     endscript

}

/var/log/apache2/myhost/*.log {

     daily

     missingok

     rotate 10

     compress

     delaycompress

#    notifempty

     create 640 root adm

     sharedscripts

     postrotate

             /etc/init.d/apache2 reload > /dev/null; 

     endscript

     prerotate

             if [ -d /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate ]; then 

                     run-parts /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate; 

             fi; 

     endscript

}

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
