PIAF2: /var/log/messages missing

[jucha]

File /var/log/messages does not exists in centos 6.1 and 6.2.
I ran an phpagi, and i can not to see errors like oracle conection.
I create manual the file, but nothing.

cron, maillog, spoller does not exists, yet.

I just did an install about an hour ago and /var/log/messages exists for me along with the others you mentioned.

What do you get if you run:

rpm -qa | grep -i syslog

It should return rsyslog-4.6.2-12.el6.i686 which I believe is the package name for syslog in CentOS. If it's missing, you can try to install via yum:

yum -y install rsyslog

I would suggest that if you find other problems, you might want to consider a re-install.

There are any number of changes

start here

http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.2

The list of changes is vast. We have tried to take into account these changes however we can't make it just like it was in Centos 5.x. So people have to adapt and overcome. For example cron is different as is init.

Hi, I have PIAF 2061 64Bits

root@piaf1:/etc/asterisk $ rpm -qa | grep -i syslog
syslog-ng-3.2.5-1.el6.x86_64
root@piaf1:/etc/asterisk $

root@piaf1:/etc/asterisk $ yum -y install rsyslog
Transaction Check Error:
file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog from install of rsyslog-4.6.2-12.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package syslog-ng-3.2.5-1.el6.x86_64

You already have syslog installed. Hence, the conflict.

I fixed with new version syslog-ng-3.2.5-2

1. wget [URL="http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/testing/6/x86_64/syslog-ng-3.2.5-2.el6.x86_64.rpm"]http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/testing/6/x86_64/syslog-ng-3.2.5-2.el6.x86_64.rpm[/URL]
2. rpm -Uvh syslog-ng-3.2.5-2.el6.x86_64.rpm
3. yum -y install rsyslog
