Nginx Logrotate problems.

We are running the most recent version of Centmin Mod 140.00beta01 at a Rocky 9.7 server.

Recently there seems to have been an update to the file /etc/logrotate.d/nginx. The file was modified May 22 20:07.

---

Since then we are getting logrotate errors:

Code:

May 26 00:00:01 ******** systemd[1]: Starting Rotate log files...
May 26 00:00:01 ******** logrotate[3649185]: error: error setting owner of /home/nginx/domains/********/log/wp_updater-240526-020520.log to uid 0 and gid 1068: Operation not permitted

May 26 00:00:02 ******** systemd[1]: Failed to start Rotate log files.

gid 1068 is nginx group.

All wp_updater-* files in logs are owned by root/nginx.

So what is the problem here that lets us restart logrotate almost daily at that server?

 

If someone has the same problem, this is the fix:

Code:

vi /etc/logrotate.d/nginx

Change the second block to add create 0644 nginx nginx:

Code:

/home/nginx/domains/*/log/*.log /home/nginx/domains/*/log/*.json {
       su nginx nginx
       daily
       dateext
       missingok
       rotate 10
       compress
       delaycompress
       notifempty
       create 0644 nginx nginx
       postrotate
       /bin/kill -SIGUSR1 $(cat /usr/local/nginx/logs/nginx.pid 2>/dev/null) 2>/dev/null || true
       endscript
}
