CPanel Issue

Hello,

i just installed a fresh copy of Cpanel on a new server and can't get Syslogd up:

System Info:

CentOS 7.1
Newest Ver of CPanel

Log Error:

The system could not provide log messages for “syslogd” because it failed to read all of the potential log files with the following errors: Error while attempting to open “/var/log/messages”: “No such file or directory”, Error while attempting to open “/var/log/secure”: “No such file or directory”, Error while attempting to open “/var/log/maillog”: “No such file or directory”

any idea's ?

    Hello there,

    That's because the new CentOS (7.x) isn't using /var/log/messages|secure|maillog anymore.

    Your can solve this by running:

    touch /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog; chmod +x /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog;

    use centos 6.x the problem would get solved

  • I'd just install rsyslog, problem solved.

    That how I addressed the issue on a test box.

  • Thanks everyone Syslogd is up and running now
