Hi does anyone know what does this error mean on my ISPConfig 3 Server : /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: error: bind:2 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes) error: bind:3 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes) error: bind:4 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes) error: bind:5 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes) error: bind:6 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes) error: bind:7 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes) error: bind:8 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes) error: bind:9 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes) error: bind:10 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes) /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: [File Content] #!/bin/sh # Clean non existent log file entries from status file cd /var/lib/logrotate test -e status || touch status head -1 status > status.clean sed 's/"//g' status | while read logfile date do [ -e "$logfile" ] && echo "\"$logfile\" $date" done >> status.clean mv status.clean status test -x /usr/sbin/logrotate || exit 0 /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
Do you have an /etc/logrotate.d/bind file? What are the contents? (Not just visible contents, but run it through "od -c" and see if there are any non-printable binary chars.)
Using Ubuntu 18.04 server i migrated ISPconfig a few months ago and receive the error from Cron Daemon root@localhost /etc/logrotate.d/bind [content] 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 /var/log/bind/bind.log { daily missingok rotate 7 compress delaycompress notifempty create 644 bind bind postrotate /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d bind9 reload > /dev/null endscript } The 4-12 lines should not be there,right ? There are also no /var/log/bind/bind.log file
It would be more clear if you posted the ls listing in CODE tags and included the ls command. My directory looks like this: Code: # LANG=C ls -lh /etc/logrotate.d/ total 88K -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 433 Sep 19 2017 apache2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 173 Jul 14 2017 apt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 82 May 26 2018 certbot -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 382 Nov 13 2017 clamav-daemon -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 409 Nov 13 2017 clamav-freshclam -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 107 Sep 20 2016 dbconfig-common -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 232 Jun 10 2015 dpkg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 313 Apr 17 2017 fail2ban drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Nov 13 2017 httpd-prerotate -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.6K Sep 13 2016 mailman -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 802 Aug 10 2017 mysql-server -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 155 Oct 27 2017 php5.6-fpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 155 May 11 2017 php7.0-fpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 155 Sep 10 2018 php7.1-fpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 155 Mar 7 2019 php7.2-fpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 155 Mar 7 2019 php7.3-fpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1014 Dec 8 2016 pure-ftpd-common -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 162 Jul 12 2017 rkhunter -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 215 Nov 9 2017 roundcube-core -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 515 Jan 19 2017 rsyslog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178 Aug 7 2014 ufw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 235 Dec 11 2016 unattended-upgrades The stuff you posted makes me suspect some how the output of some command that listed contents of logrotate configuration file got handled by a command that touched files. So the files are all bogus and could be removed.
Another interpretation occurred to me: whas the stuff you posted contents of file /etc/logrotate.d/bind?
That was the way I read it. Correct, try just removing those. Perhaps that will show up after fixing log rotation. You might also make sure the /var/log/bind/ directory exists.
After removing The 4-12 lines the logs started showing up in a few days and the problem is solved Thanks for the help
