We have a server with Litespeed and I've noticed a few things with logrotation that doesn't look quite right.
1. Postrotate script and pid file

1. Postrotate script and pid file
The standard logrotate config (
/etc/logrotate.d/apache) is using the pid file /var/run/httpd.pid in the postrotate script. This pid file doesn't exist, and should probably be changed to /var/run/lshttpd.pid when Litespeed is being used, assuming that it also supports the -USR1 signal for reopening logfiles.2. Litespeed rotation/keep days
There are a lot of logs in
/usr/local/lsws/logs/ which is not rotated by the standard logrotate, but instead are rotated based on the internal configuration of Litespeed itself. When looking at the Litespeed WebAdmin Console, there are two settings related to rotation, Rolling Size and Keep Days. For the "Server Log", Keep Days is not set, and it appears that means old log files will never be removed?2b. There is also a
/usr/local/lsws/logs/stderr.log and /usr/local/lsws/logs/lsrestart.log that doesn't seem to be rotated by anything at all, since the WebAdmin Console only mentions error.log and access.log files with rotation configs.Any insight into this would be appreciated! We're fairly new to Litespeed still.
