It might be a lot better to remove the sites's logs If the logs are still being stored on the / partition you will run out of space soon. The easiest solution is to move all of your log files, and a lot of other stuff, over to the /home partition and then soft link them using ln -s (check any good *nix FAQ for more detail of the command parameters if you aren't sure) jalonz 07-02-2002, 12:18 AM "ode to logrotate.d" files and directories moving and copying recursively within filesystems while daemons running locks and pids being misplaced like a kid and a flamethrower, in the summer Colorado forest. a question better asked log rotation, where art thou? giza 07-03-2002, 06:46 AM I just want to delete logs files on 1 site only! please how? blacknight 07-03-2002, 09:56 AM Originally posted by giza I just want to delete logs files on 1 site only! please how? If you are on a RAQ4 you should be able to access the logs via: /home/sites/somesitename/users/logs I'm not sure if simply deleting the files is the best solution, you might want to empty them instead or simply delete them and recreate empty ones. I've never done it, so I don't know what the side-effects of deleting them are.
