Regression #14517
Updated by Jim Pingle 11 months ago
Similar to how logging didn't work in #14283, if the @<syslog>@ @<syslogd>@ section of @config.xml@ is missing or empty, the newsyslog configuration for log rotation does not end up in @/var/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/pfSense.conf@. As with #14283 there is an invalid test at src/etc/inc/syslog.inc#L520 that doesn't setup the newsyslog configuration when that configuration section is empty. Simple workaround is to set some value in the log settings ( *Status > System Logs* , *Settings* tab ) such as disabling rotation compression. Checking the source I don't see any other places using that same test, this is the only one remaining.
