logrotate is unable to rotate my logs. I have checked the file permissions, they are fine.I have even tried by putting su root root in the configuration file, still I am facing the same issue.Please find the relevant details below:logrotate.conf file:/var/log/testlog {    compress    delaycompress     maxage 180    rotate 15    size 1024M    start 1    rotate 15    missingok}Debug Logs: [using -d]rotating pattern:

logrotate unable to rotate logs
linux;logrotate
I go out on a limp here, but the manpage states-d, --debugTurns on debug mode and implies -v. In debug mode, no changes will be made to the logs or to the logrotate state file. So logrotate doesn't do anything. It just writes out what it would do. If you want verbose output, supply -v, not -d as option.Edit: The fact that logrotate puts out messages like log /var/log/testlog.16.gz doesn't exist -- won't try to dispose of itis nothing to be concerned about. In fact, it is expected behaviour! The verbose output shows you exactly what it's doing. It tries to increment the version numbers beginning with the oldest file testlog.15.gz which doesn't exist yet. It will, once 15 rotations have been performed. It's not an error. That goes on until finally testlog.1.gz does exist and is renamed to testlog.2.gzSince you specifiedstart 1 testlog.0.gz is again not there, but nevertheless: testlog is moved to testlog.1 (without compression, because of delaycompress)In the end it tries to dispose of the 16th log file, since rotate 15was given. The file is not there (again: yet), but that should not matter to either you, or the program. The directory listing shows that it did precisely what i was told. As the logs are rotated repeatedly, the missing files will show up and the messages will subside. After all you are running the program in verbose mode, so you should expect output like this.
