• The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

log rotation problem for maillog

New Pleskian
Hi,

The mail log rotation on one of our servers stooped working. i checked the /etc/psa/logrotate.conf and see that it is still configured to run every day.

Any ideas on where to look to find out why it stopped working?

Is there a way to force the rotation from a shell command?
 
Logrotation process related to gathering statistics in Plesk. It works only after statistics, because statistics will not be collected if logs is rotated already. There is maintenance script in cronjob /etc/cron.daily/50plesk-daily:

# install_statistics
/usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php >/dev/null 2>&1

You can use it or just use /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/statistics (--help option for details)
Logs will be rotated after statistics calculation.
 
We are having the same problem. We manually compressed the mail log file that is getting to big and log stopped.
After restarting syslog service the log file started to gather information again but log rotate still does not work. Cron jobs have had no changes also.
