Hi

Working with Apache 2.0.52 on Linux, I created this logrotate
configuration file:
-------
/usr/local/httpd/logs/*log {
missingok
notifempty
sharedscripts
postrotate
/bin/kill -USR1 `cat /usr/local/httpd/logs/httpd.pid
2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}
------------------

I executed '/usr/sbin/logrotate -v /etc/logrotate.d/httpd' and I get
this kind of messages:
-------
renaming /usr/local/httpd/logs/access_log to /usr/local/httpd/logs/access_log.1
disposeName will be /usr/local/httpd/logs/access_log.1
removing old log /usr/local/httpd/logs/access_log.1
rotating log /usr/local/httpd/logs/blog_eitb-access_log, log->rotateCount is 0
--------

However, '/usr/local/httpd/logs/access_log.1' doesn't exist, and
'/usr/local/httpd/logs/access_log' is empty!

Must I 'chmod a+w' /usr/local/httpd/logs/ directory?

Thank you very much.
