Log file rotation not removed.

I did something I don't normal do.. I deleted a site and put a new one up.. Same name just a new starting over on the site.... But when I did I get this error..

. Log file rotation failed! : .. the log file /var/log/virtualmin/eternal-lights.com_access_log is already being rotated at /usr/libexec/webmin/web-lib-funcs.pl line 1427.

SO .. When I deleted the old site, the scripts are not removing the old file rotation. So putting the new one and the error.. I figured this is something you should know about. Thanks Don

Hi, Don!

Don, this issue, to be correct, must be addressed to Virtualmin team. The fact that the logs are not being rotated properly, as some strings weren't remove upon site deletion, seems most likely like Virtualmin issue and should be fixed on its end.

I will re-assign the issue to make sure that it will get proper attention.

Can you post the block from your /etc/logrotate.conf file for this domain's log?

Jamie, This would not have to do with that file, but I posted it anyway below.. .. I think it found the file in the logrotate.d/sitename.conf is what it found for the site to do a rotate. It should have been simple to verify, delete a site and put it back. But when I tried on a differant server, it didn't repeat it's self. So at this point I don't know. Just close this ticket and I keep a eye open for it again.

Thanks Don

uncomment this if you want your log files compressed compress RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory
