    Where is the users logrotate config for error and access log files? /etc/logrotate.d contains generic default configs, not per user setup. I would like to change how archived logs are named. Because now access.log is archived like 20251006_access.log.tar.gz and meanwhile error.log: error.log.1.tar.gz .

    You will have to change the ISPConfig code for that. access.log is split and rotated in real-time by vlogger, and an ISPConfig cron plugin rotates error.log.

    Aha. Interesting, I always thought that such mundane task as log rotation is done by standard apps. Thank you for info.

    Not on hosting systems, as the standard apps do not handle servers with many websites well.
