Log Rotation Issue

[alwoodman]

I have switched on log roation however its not rotating any of the logs on my domains in my VPS...this has happened since the upgrade to 8.3...as a result the log files are beocming very large over 1GB. Where's the "on" switch...? Do i need to SSH in to configure this? The bandwidth measurement is also not working so i can;t get any stats to trouble shoot another issue of the server failing quite regularly...

thanks

Me too. Was there an answer to this? I upgraded to 8.3 on Ubuntu 6.06 and my logs are not rotating no matter what I try. Any advice appreciated. Fairly new to Plesk so don't know the ins and outs of it's admin yet. Logs are getting HUGE though... I can manually run the /opt/psa/admin/sbin/statistics, but that's not an ideal situation at all. Should that be cronned?

Well... couldn't find anything here or on Google except other people whose logs won't rotate either with Plesk log rotation manager so I just added a weekly root cron job to run /opt/psa/admin/sbin/statistics at 2am Monday mornings. What a pain.

I find it hard to believe there aren't more people complaining about this so I must believe it's just me being an idiot and missing something... I'll be the first to admit I'm an idiot most times.. heh, heh. Wonder how many VPS owners with 10-20GBs of space and popular sites don't have any logs because Apache stopped logging and Plesk won't rotate them. Amazing.

I particularly liked the post I found where one guy was like, "Well.. *two years* later and I'm re-posting for an answer in the same thread". Makes me wonder what people are missing or if not enough people actually use Plesk to notice or care. *shrug*
