Dear all,

I am trying to use logrotate from ports and I am getting the following 
error. Can anyone offer any insight?

/usr/local/sbin/logrotate -d /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf
reading config file /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf
reading config info for /var/log/httpd-error.log
error: /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf:11 bad olddir path "/var/log/tmp/"
error: found error in /var/log/httpd-error.log  , skipping
error: /usr/local/etc/logrotate.conf:11 } expected
removing last 1 log configs

The (simple) content of logrotate.conf is below:

# rotate apache logs
"/var/log/httpd-error.log"      {
         rotate 5
         monthly
         compress
         delaycompress
         create
         size=70k
         missingok
         sharedscripts
         olddir="/var/log/tmp/"
         postrotate
                 /sbin/killall -HUP httpd
         endscript
         }

I tried olddir argument with and without =, with and without "", with 
and without a trailing slash and still getting this error.

I am also not sure why it would expect } in line 11?

I have read the man but it does not answer my questions or at least I do 
not see the answers.

Many thanks for your advice!
