Description of problem: Mysql packages do not provide logrotate configuration file. Looking at bug #647223 comment #16 I understand that as it should be included after the problem with rotating logs gets fixed. The problem got fixed already but we still do not provide /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mysql-5.0.95-5.el5_9 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install mysql-server 2. uncomment the configuration in /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld 3. logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld Actual results: 2. no file to edit 3. error: cannot stat /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld: No such file or directory Expected results: no error; once the server runs and writes logfile, logs get rotated after logrotate call Additional info:
I don't see any issue on my RHEL-5 VM: [hhorak@localmaster ~]$ ll /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld error: file /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld: No such file or directory [hhorak@localmaster ~]$ sudo yum install ./mysql-5.0.95-5.el5_9.x86_64.rpm ./mysql-server-5.0.95-5.el5_9.x86_64.rpm ... Installed: mysql-server.x86_64 0:5.0.95-5.el5_9 mysql.x86_64 0:5.0.95-5.el5_9 Complete! [hhorak@localmaster ~]$ ll /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 871 Jan 8 18:14 /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld [hhorak@localmaster ~]$ rpm -qf /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld mysql-server-5.0.95-5.el5_9 [hhorak@localmaster ~]$ sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld [hhorak@localmaster ~]$ echo $? 0
Couldn't this be caused by an issue in test case?
now I'm pretty confused ... I saw this problem on RHEL6 so I wanted to check on RHEL5 from where the original bug emerged looking at it carefully again, I see that both mysql-server-5.0.95-5.el5 and mysql-server-5.0.95-3.el5 include the file maybe I have mistaken terminals before, taking half from one and half from another? sorry :-(
Sounds likely. The problem is certainly real in RHEL6 --- it doesn't look like we ever propagated the logrotate changes into that branch. But RHEL5 has the fix.
