Hi guys,

Do you know how to make logrotate 3.8.6 to rename files like old one?
Now it renames with date on the end. I want to add just numbers 1,2,3...

My script for httpd is:

Code:

/var/log/httpd/*log {
    daily
    missingok
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd reload > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true
    endscript
}

I have the same, logrotate-3.8.6, and it does not put the date on the end by default. According to the docs, it won't do that unless you have "dateext" in the configuration file. So check you configuration files again.

Hi mate,

It looks like logrotare doesnt read the files in /etc/logrotate.d/
Because in my httpd file i have: daily
but the log is not from yesterday but 2 days before:
forum-access_log-20150328

Any ideas what is wrong?

I ran it manually:

# logrotate -s /var/log/logstatus /etc/logrotate.conf
# cat /var/log/logstatus
logrotate state -- version 2

Update:

Just saw that logs were rotated.
But instead:
forum-access_log to become forum-access_log.1

the result is:
forum-access_log
forum-access_log-20150328

I just realized that in CeontOS 7.0 is used Systemd.
Maybe this is the problem?
Any help will be glad.
