Re: Permission denied when logrotating dovecot.log

Michael,

You should probably just chmod 600 your dovecot.log file. Here's mine (debian 8):

root@messagerie-secours[CHROOT][10.10.10.19] ~ # ls /var/log/dovecot.log -rw------- 1 root root 8.3M Mar 22 16:40 /var/log/dovecot.log root@messagerie-secours[CHROOT][10.10.10.19] ~ #

And here are the permissions for my /var/log directory :

root@messagerie-secours[CHROOT][10.10.10.19] ~ # ls -d /var/log/ drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4.0K Mar 22 06:25 /var/log/ root@messagerie-secours[CHROOT][10.10.10.19] ~ #

-- Yassine.
