I've noticed a very large log file into /usr/local/cwp/php71/var/log/php-fpm.log Does anyone knows how to setup a logrotate entry to keep that log and others on that folder under control?

Thanks in advance!

You can use this tutorial to clear the logs via cron job : 

 

or you can use below configs for logrotate :

yum install logrotate -y

create the cwp logrotate config file :

nano /etc/logrotate.d/cwplog

add this lines to it and save :

/usr/local/cwp/php71/var/log/*.log
/var/log/cwp/*.log
{
    daily
    rotate 3
    size 15M
    compress
    dateext
    dateformat -%d-%m-%Y
    delaycompress
}

you can debug/dry-run the log rotate config via this command :

logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.d/cwplog

disable system protect for logrotate :

sed -i '/ProtectSystem=full/s/^/#/g' /usr/lib/systemd/system/logrotate.service
systemctl daemon-reload

and restart logrotate.timer and logrotate via systemctl : 

systemctl restart logrotate.timer logrotate

check logrotate.timer and logrotate are running via this command :

** logrotate will show inactive other than that ensure the service doesn't have any error

systemctl status logrotate.timer logrotate

Thanks a lot, sir. Very detailed and easy to follow answer.

Cheers 🙂

HI, thank you very much dear Sandeep for you nice comprehensive answer

 

just I would to ask about this line: 

/usr/local/cwp/php71/var/log/*.log

 

incase using php 8.1 instead of the php 7.1, it's nee to change: /usr/local/cwp/php81/var/log/*.log  or it's not necessary 

 

 

thanks

HI, when I run the the above command, getting the below error:

 

[root@cloud ~]# systemctl restart logrotate.timer logrotate
Failed to restart logrotate.timer: Unit not found.
Failed to restart logrotate.service: Unit not found.
[root@cloud ~]# systemctl status logrotate.timer logrotate
Unit logrotate.timer could not be found.
Unit logrotate.service could not be found.

please guide me

CWP only uses PHP 7.1 and not 8.1. You can use any PHP version you want on your server but CWP will use always the 7.1 version.
