Hello,

2 days ago I started to have problems woth logrotate, receiving these error emails.

DEC 11

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

error: error running postrotate script
error: error running postrotate script

/etc/cron.daily/00webalizer:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

Now all my logs are empty (maillog, httpd error log...). Anyone could help me?

Thanks in advance, Simon.

Also been having the same problem... since like August

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/httpd/*log

Here's a similar thread on another forum that may help;

There is a fix for RHEL4, but the rpm package isn't available on the red hat network repository used by ev1servers. Please check this thread http://forums.ev1servers.net/showthread.php?t=61207

No, it has to do with /tmp being mounted noexec. Do what I said in the thread you listed and it'll fix it.

Easy solution:

Add to /etc/cron.daily/logrotate

export TMPDIR=/var/run
