Hi,
Last night I tried to access mythweb but it wouldn't load, so today I was investigating and found that lighttpd wasn't working. When I tried checking the logs I discovered that I seem to be missing a lot of logs on my system.
Code: [root@mythtv log]# cd /var/log/
[root@mythtv log]# ls -l

Any ideas?

I noticed this entry which contains all of the logs prior to January 11th when I did a 'pacman -Syu'.
Code: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 11 11:10 old_sysng
How can I find out what going wrong with my system?

turpie.
it looks like rsyslog is working. The location changed and the logs are now stored by date /var/log/$current_date/
for lighttpd it's best to run the lighttpd command by hand and see what it's complaining about.

Does this look right?
The other dated log directories dont contain anything.

rsyslog is NOT running , niether is lighttpd.
Your best bet is to look at each "run" file and then exec each command from the console. You will probably get more debugging output that way.

Thanks for the suggestions jams.
The lighttpd problem was caused by the mythexport configuration entries. Code: $HTTP["url"] =~ "/mythexport/" {
cgi.assign = ( ".cgi" => "/usr/bin/perl" )
}
Under previous versions of LinHES I had to manually insert an entry for mythexport into the lighttpd.conf file. However that entry is now included via /etc/lighttpd/conf.include which includes /etc/mythexport/mythexport.lighttpd.include, so lighttpd was complaining about the duplication and exiting. I couldn't see this particular message until I ran /service/lighttpd/run.
The rsyslog problem may have been due to permissions on the /service/rsyslog/run file not having the execute bit set.
