I tried issuing kill -USR1 `cat /run/nginx.pid` manually but nginx-1.4.1 still logged to the old file. I got the following in error_log: signal 10 (SIGUSR1) received, reopening logs reopening logs It does start logging to the new file if I restart nginx afterward. I also noticed this in error_log from when logrotate executes: open() "/var/log/nginx/error_log" failed (13: Permission denied) open() "/var/log/nginx/localhost.access_log" failed (13: Permission denied) open() "/var/log/nginx/localhost.error_log" failed (13: Permission denied) Is something happening out of order? - Grant _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
