[Solved] Does lighttpd require a signal or reload for log rotation?

Added by jeremiah about 3 years ago

I'm setting up a new lighttpd server using the latest version running on Ubuntu and managed by systemd.

I'm going to enable the access log and want to use logrotate to rotate the logs, but I can't find documentation what, if anything, I should put in the "postrotate" section of the logrotate config file.

Does lighttpd require a signal after logrotate rotates the log file?

Thanks,
Jeremiah

If you tried searching the source code, you might have found:
https://git.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/lighttpd1.4/src/branch/master/doc/initscripts.txt

If you tried the Search box at the top right of this page to search "Wiki Pages" you might have found: lighttpd signals
