Hello,

is the folders /home/username/logs essential for some important WHM functions?

or can i delete flles from these folders?

Also from /usr/local/apache/domlogs

i have identic question, but there i want to delete it regularly like monthly, not just onetime.. If it can harm some WHM function

or i need to trim somehow these files? I want them to be there in domlogs so i can track the issues into history..

Thank you

Hello :)

It's not required for cPanel/WHM to function, but the /home/$username/logs directory stored access logs that the user has decided to archive. The Apache domlogs question is answered on your other thread:

Access Logs Show Only 1 Hour

Thank you.

That domlogs question is not answered fully so that i dont know which linux commands i need to setup or what i need to do to prevent disk over usage.

Feel free to add additional questions or input to that thread. Asking the same question on multiple threads leads to disorganization and the cross-posting of solutions.

Thank you.
