Issue logrotate.service Failed

Piekielko

Basic Pleskian
I recently installed a new version of Debian 11.5 with MariaDB 10.6. I noticed this error - how to fix it?

Hi there. After having the same issue, I found out that the folder '/etc/logrotate.d/' contains two conflicting files:
- /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server
- /etc/logrotate.d/mariadb

After moving 'mysql-server' to a temporary location, the service can be started successfully. At the moment I am trying to get a response from Plesk Support.
