View Full Version : cron error message - raq 3

I keep getting the following message sent to my admin email account daily:

Subject: Cron <root@www> run-parts /etc/cron.quarter-daily
Invalid log type: . Most be web, ftp or mail.

Anyone experienced this before, or know what it means. Know how to stop it?

Background: Not sure if any of this info is relevent, but just in case. I previosly installed webalizer 1.3, and now have upgraded to webalizer 2.0. I started noticing the emails after the install of 1.3, but then I didn't check my admin email before then, so who knows.
Also, I have 2 virtual sites in my control panel that are not yet active - since the site owners have not changed thier DNS settings - could inactive sites cause this message?

Thanks,

David Kiley

I guess this error is a rare desease. :) well, it doesn't seem to be hurting the system in any way, is just a little annoying. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it though.

This might be an error you're getting because logs do not exist for a certain site (no traffic). I have that problem on a Raq4, but it's a slightly different error message.
