asterisk users - Nov 2005 - Restore Asterisk log files after deleting...

Hi,

I did something stupid - I deleted the Asterisk log files instead of 
copying empty information into the file (I know dumb) to clear out the 
data. I recreated the files with the same rights as before (644) using 
the asterisk user and group but asterisk does not appear to recognize 
them. Is there a way to get asterisk to use /var/log/asterisk/full and 
/var/log/asterisk/messages again... I restarted the server and Asterisk 
but nothing appears in the logs even though several SIP devices have 
logged in etc. (I know this as I was running the Asterisk console).

Thanks

Try removing the file entirely and restarting Asterisk.  Failing that try
logger rotate in the console.
