Scheduled S3 backup fails

Virtualmin
#1

This is my output;

Creating backup for virtual server xxx.com .. • Copying virtual server configuration .. • .. doneBacking up Cron jobs .. .. none defined. Saving mail aliases .. .. done Saving mail and FTP users .. .. done Backing up mail and FTP user Cron jobs .. .. none to backup Copying Apache virtual host configuration .. .. done Copying Apache log files .. .. done Copying Logrotate configuration .. .. Error: no log rotation configuration found! Dumping MySQL database xxx .. .. done Backing up Webmin ACL files .. .. done Creating TAR file of home directory .. .. done .. completed in 13 seconds

0 servers backed up successfully, 1 had errors. Servers with errors: xxx.com
Backup is complete. Final size was 0 bytes.
Deleting backups from xxx/%y-%m-%d in Amazon S3 bucket xxx older than 90 days …
… no backups to delete were found

So the error is with LogRotate. How can I fix that?

But I also set my backup to continue on error, and it did, but it says the final backup size is 0KB… How is that possible? Why is it failing completely?

Howdy,

It would (in theory) continue onto other domains even if one domain had a problem… but we may still need to sort out why the log rotation for this particular domain had a problem.

What you may want to do is review /etc/logrotate.conf, and look for a section for your domain “xxx.com”. Do you see one in there? Or is it missing altogether?

It is missing altogether;

# RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d

no packages own wtmp and btmp – we’ll rotate them here

/var/log/wtmp {
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
minsize 1M
rotate 1
}

/var/log/btmp {
missingok
monthly
create 0600 root utmp
rotate 1
}

system-specific logs may be also be configured here.

#4

I also forced log rotation, but no errors there:

Forcing the immediate rotation of all log files …
… done.

#5

/etc/logrotate.d is empty too btw.

#6

Oops, actually now I did logrotate command as root and it said the /etc/logrotate.d/domain.conf could not be read. I changed it chmod to 644 and now it processed ok.

Then I tried to backup again, but the same error, “… Error: no log rotation configuration found!”

The file for the domain is at /etc/logrotate.d/domain.conf and contains:

/var/log/virtualmin/*_log { rotate 1 weekly compress postrotate service httpd reload ; sleep 5 endscript sharedscripts }

And this is the full output of the logrotate command:

logrotate -d -f /etc/logrotate.conf
