Hi,
Last year, I installed Asterisk 10.4.2 and enabled logrotate on daily basis
which was working perfect. Now in couple of months back, the logrotate
feature is not working at all but simply appending the logs in
'messages'
file. Listing down down the configuration for logrotate below;
/var/log/asterisk/messages {
missingok
rotate 5
daily
postrotate
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger reload' > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
endscript
}
As asterisk is running by user: root so no need set asterisk permissions
'create 0640 asterisk asterisk' in above configuration.
Please advise so I can resolve this issue.

Ahmed Munir Chohan

Listing down down the configuration for logrotate below;This sounds more like a Linux/logrotate issue rather than asterisk-specific. Are your other system logfiles successfully rotating? (e.g. /var/log/messages) If not, it may be something as simple as logrotate's daemon not running. You should be able to fix that in your distro's startup scripts. On Gentoo, you'd do something like "/etc/init.d/logrotate start" to start it now, and "rc-update add logrotate default" to add it to your default runlevel. Difficult to advise further without knowing the distro in question. Kind regards, Chris -- This email is made from 100% recycled electrons

Checked in /var/logs/ directory, all logs are not rotating by logrotate. Please advise how can I overcome this issue as I'm using CentoOS 5 From: Chris Bagnall <asterisk at lists.minotaur.cc>> Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Log rotate not working > To: asterisk-users at lists.digium.com > Message-ID: <519B9FA6.9000506 at lists.minotaur.cc> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > On 21/5/13 4:19 pm, Ahmed Munir wrote:> Last year, I installed Asterisk > 10.4.2 and enabled logrotate on daily basis > > which was working perfect.

Jim, Cron and Logrotate already installed in my machine and already configured as the steps you enlisted. But still logrotate is not running.
