Apache2 and logrotate

Hi group,

I'm using two DELL machines with OS SuSE 9.0 Professional installed. Each machine owns an Apache2-instance (apache2-2.0.54-1) delivering HTTP content. The Apache2-configuration itsself is located on a NFS-mount where both machines link to:

When rotating the apache2-logfiles using "logrotate-3.6.6-95" (only executed machine-specific) for each virtual host configuration, the apache2 process is not properly reloaded on both machines. But this only occurs, when the apache2-configuration itsself is stored on a NFS-mount. Otherwise the logrotation using one of the following logrotate scripts does not fail:

extern-home-dimex-www.dimex.de-logs-access.logextern-home-dimex-www.dimex.de-logs-error.log { prerotate su -m -c "-usr-bin-webalizer -cextern-home-dimex-www.dimex.de-webalizer-webalizer.conf -N 0" dimex endscript daily compress dateext maxage 364 rotate 90 notifempty missingok sharedscripts create 644 dimex kunden postrotate etc-init.d-apache2 reload chown dimex.kundenextern-home-dimex-www.dimex.de-logs-* endscript }

The following error messages are part of an e-mail generated after the logrotation has finished.

Logrotation for the first example virtual host configuration: =============================================================

Logrotation for the second example virtual host configuration: ==============================================================

As already mentioned: the messages do not occur, when the Apache2-configuration is stored locally. I wonder, why these message occur when rotating the logfiles. Both machines do not write to the same file-system-location at the same time on the NFS mount, they only read the central stored Apache2 configuration via NFS.

Any hints?
