    Hello,

    We recently switched our dedicated servers and was going through this morning to do some final fine tuning. The server has been up now of 2 days. I noticed that none of our log files in the /var/log/* and /usr/apache/logs/* have been rotated and becoming quite large. I checked the cron log file and it indicates that the cron.daily is being executed and calls up the logrotation in the cron.daily folder but none of the logs are being compressed or rotated. I checked and the logrotation.conf is there & related files but haven't figured out why they are not being rotated yet. I know you can control the Cpanel logs in the WHM but as far as I know this has no control over the other log rotations unless I'm missing something.

    Any help or suggestions appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Ok thanks for the info, disc space isn't the issue though.

    Understood. It's a top level link to the log rotation docs.

    cPanel Log Rotation Configuration - cPanel Documentation


    Not sure if that's helpful or not.
