how do I fix this problem

[silvernetuk]

Hi,

I am getting the following email from a new server I got

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

stat of /var/log/exim_paniclog failed: No such file or directory
stat of /var/log/exim_rejectlog failed: No such file or directory

How do I fix this problem ?

Regards,
Garry

I would
# touch /var/log/exim_paniclog
# touch /var/log/exim_rejectlog
and give them the same permission as the other Exim log files.

Hi,

I would really like to get it working how it should

How do I make this files ?

&touch& is the command to create the file:

In a shell session write this:

# man touch

if you want more info.

Hi,

Oh right so I go into ssh and type

# touch /var/log/exim_paniclog
# touch /var/log/exim_rejectlog

and chmod it to the same as exim_mainlog which is -rw-r-----
the is has root root so do I need to chown both files to root:root

Does anyone know what the chmod number is for -rw-r-----

Regards,
Garry

# man chmod

Is it just me, or are there threads about this issue all over the place? I could swear I just replied to one...

4 read
2 write
1 execute

-rw-r----- would be 640 then.

Hi,

The exim_rejectlog made it self and set it to 640 so I need to change that to ?

640 is correct for the reject log. Just ensure it is owned by root:root
