asterisk users - Dec 2005 - Restore logging functionality...

Hi,

A while back I made the stupid mistake of deleting my log files 'full' 
and 'messages' for asterisk. I recreated the files by 'touch'
filename
and I have gone into the Asterisk CLI and tried both 'logger restart' 
and 'logger rotate' but the logs still show nothing. I run 'logger
show
channels' and the output below shows up. I have recompiled Asterisk 1.2 
and still the logs do not show up. I am getting data into the 
'queue_log' and the 'events' logs however so I know logger is
running.
Any suggestions to fix this???

you can: delete your logfiles, * will re-create them I think
or: change the owner to asterisk. (chown asterisk.asterisk 
/var/log/asterisk/ -R)

cheers

Hi,

I deleted the files and ran 'logger restart' - no dice, 'logger
rotate'
- no dice, 'reload' - no dice, 'restart gracefully' - no dice.
Logs are
not recreated???

Any other ideas

Thanks
