What old logfiles can I get rid of? Just look at the following: Code: /home/www# du -s web72/* 384 web72/cgi-bin 71768 web72/log 4 web72/phptmp 28 web72/shared 20 web72/ssl 4 web72/user 5804 web72/web Note that the customer is not primarily responsible for his web (filesystem group) filling up.... Can I chown the logfiles? Are they still needed/Can I delete them? Regards, ~jm
Would it be bad to just chown the logfiles to root or some other account without quota? What exactly happens to those files? In that case I don't need to hurry deleting them as I have a lot of space and they won't affect the user/group's quota either?
The files where chowned back to the user automatically each night by the logsplit script. The logsplit script appends the log data each night to the file. Afterwards the webalizer script analyzes the logfile and creates the stats. You can chown them to e.g. root, but then you will have to tweak the logs.php script that it does not chown the files back to the website user. UPDATE: --------------------------------------- Just recognized that i havent read your post to the end. My solution is for the logfile of the current month. Older logfiles can be chowned without problems and changing anything in the logs.php file
