Manually rotating the logs without stopping the server seems to work ok, so I'm fairly confident I'll be alright when I automate it.
To be explicit, manually mv'ing the httpserver.log file works; but so does having a logrot.cfg and manually doing logrotate -vf logrot.cfg. I didn't use the "copy" or "copytruncate" settings in this test, and didn't see any issue with lost entries. Admittedly, the server load is pretty light. (I have 2 clients that are POSTING via SOAP as they cycle through some test activities, and the admin user and a couple of other browsers used to monitor the DB entries.) /dps On Wednesday, September 18, 2013 3:59:23 PM UTC-7, Massimo Di Pierro wrote: > > I think it is but I never tried. > > On Wednesday, 18 September 2013 12:58:38 UTC-5, Dave S wrote: >> >> Silly question time: is httpserver.log compatible with logrotate? >> >> (It looks like the answer is yes when running a simple deployment using >> the in-package Rocket server on Fedora 16) >> >> (As of this morning, I'm using >> 2.5.1-stable+timestamp.2013.06.06.15.39.19 >> (Running on Rocket 1.2.6) >> but I'm about to hit the upgrade button =8-O ) >> >> Thanks >> /dps >> >> >> -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
