Re: logrotate does not work on my log (Debian Jessie)

Ok, thank you, it works.

1) /etc/logrotate.d/my_app should be 644 mode and owner must be root

2) I added 'su <files owner> <files group ownership>' on the top of the body of the logrotate file
3) /usr/sbin/logrotate -d  /etc/logrotate.d/my_app and /usr/sbin/logrotate -f  /etc/logrotate.d/my_app help to debug

Right, so add a line like this to the body of your logrotate file:

    su <your files owner> <your files group ownership>
