My server just started emailing this <pre> etc/cron.daily/logrotate: error: error running shared postrotate script for '/var/log/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log /var/log/mysql/error.log ’ run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1 </pre> I don’t know if it’s a permissions issue. Any advice?

I get: #Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) it shoud be 1 row affected, right?
This can happen if the password for the debian-sys-maint MySQL user is wrong. If you look at the <code>/etc/logrorate.d/mysql-server</code> script it calls mysqladmin: <pre> MYADMIN=“/usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf” </pre> Check the password with: <pre> cat /etc/mysql/debian.cnf </pre> Then make sure it is correct by logging in mysql with the root user and running: <pre> GRANT RELOAD, SHUTDOWN, PROCESS, SHOW DATABASES, SUPER, LOCK TABLES ON . TO ‘debian-sys-maint’@‘localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘REPLACE_WITH_REAL_PASSWORD’; </pre>
