[SOLVED] logrotate issue

[ewilen]

After upgrade to 6.0.9 I got this message in admin inbox from the cron daemon:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

error: zimbra:5 unknown user 'USER'
error: found error in /var/log/zimbra.log , skipping
error: zimbra:17 unknown user 'USER'
error: found error in /var/log/zimbra-stats.log , skipping

Looking in /etc/logrotate.d/zimbra I see the file starts with:

/var/log/zimbra.log {
    daily
    missingok
    notifempty
    create 0644 USER GROUP
    postrotate
      killall -HUP syslogd 2> /dev/null || true
      su - zimbra -c "/opt/zimbra/bin/zmswatchctl restart" > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
    endscript
    compress
}

/var/log/zimbra-stats.log {
    daily
    missingok
    notifempty
    create 0644 USER GROUP
    postrotate
      killall -HUP syslogd 2> /dev/null || true
      su - zimbra -c "/opt/zimbra/bin/zmlogswatchctl restart" > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
    endscript
    rotate 0
}

I think there must have been something wrong with the install(er) that caused "USER GROUP" to appear in lines 5 and 17 instead of "zimbra zimbra". Would someone who has a recent pre-6.0.9 install please post the relevant lines of their /etc/logrotate.d/zimbra?

Ah, I see uxbox caught this too: Bug 53584 – logrotate issue

Would like to be certain of the values that should be there before I go back and manually fix the file.

Hi Elliot,

This is from one of the 6.0.8+P3 servers in our hosting farm (yes, we name our servers after wines...)

We expect to upgrade to 6.0.9 shortly; this bug is easy to fix manually.

Hope that helps,
Mark

Thanks, Mark.

[Tripple]

I had this error to after upgrading.

Thanks.

[fyd]

Thanks Elliot .. fixed it.

[robh]

We've been caught by this too - If someone from Zimbra is listening please could you get it fixed in the next release? (It might have been done in 6.0.10 but isn't in the release notes).

Thanks,
Rob

Uxbod has filed a bug, see Elliot's comment above. You can vote for it. I believe they'll patch this up in the next release.

edit : Sorry it seem they've closed the report so it must be fixed in .10. Forgot It's been a while

[LMStone]

None of the 6.0.10 upgrades nor fresh installs we have done have exhibited this bug. I'd say, at least for us, on 64-bit CentOS and SLES10/11, the bug is fixed in 6.0.10.

Hope that helps,
Mark
