[Bug 499494] [NEW] nginx logrotate conf file sets wrong owner for the log

[Eduardo Cereto]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nginx

here's the output for the actual logrotate conf file on nginx:

$ cat /etc/logrotate.d/nginx 
/var/log/nginx/*.log {
	daily
	missingok
	rotate 52
	compress
	delaycompress
	notifempty
	create 640 root adm
	sharedscripts
	postrotate
		[ ! -f /var/run/nginx.pid ] || kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/nginx.pid`
	endscript
}

It creates the new log with root access. When it rotates for the first
time nginx is not able to output to the log anymore since it runs by
default as www-data. A quickfix would be to change only the logrotate
fix to this:

(...)
create 640 www-data www-data
(...)

I'm on fully updated karmic
