My logs should rotate everyday, but they're not and the logs are growing larger. I also tried to launch logrotate by hand like this to no avail :

Code: Select all
logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
Here's my logrotate.conf. On line 11 it's supposed to load my logrotate config fle.

Code: Select all
root@backup[10.10.10.21] ~ # nl /etc/logrotate.conf 
     1  # see "man logrotate" for details
     2  # rotate log files weekly
     3  weekly
     4  # keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
     5  rotate 4
     6  # create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
     7  create
     8  # uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
     9  #compress
    10  # packages drop log rotation information into this directory
    11  include /etc/logrotate.d

infomaniak (the config file) is readable.

Any help appreciated. Thanks 

			
You might try making the permissions on /etc/logrotate.d/infomaniak the same as all the other files in that directory.

Also, man logrotate warns about using the * wildcard as you have done there, you might want to check that out.

You were right, my file wasn't even loaded. Then when I changed permissions (chmod -x) I started seeing the errors on the console when launching logrotate manually

Code: Select all
root@backup[10.10.10.21] ~ # logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf 
error: infomaniak:2 bad rotation count '31         # Garder les logs du mois'
error: found error in /var/log/infomaniak/main.log , skipping
error: stat of /var/log/infomaniak/main.log failed: No such file or directory

I removed the comments that were at the end of line and added a "create" directive because without it the logfile would disappear.
