syslog

My nginx sends lots of messages to syslog, but I don't need them. In my nginx.conf:

      error_log  /var/log/nginx-error.log  notice;
        ......
      server {
      access_log  off;
      location /
      {
         .... 
        }
      }

but, in my /var/log/message you see

Nov 22 23:25:09 cache3 nginx: 2011/11/22 23:25:09 [error] 3437#0: *32172530         kevent() reported about an closed connection (60: Operation timed out) while reading response header from upstream, client: , server: , request: "GET http://www.igoido012.com//vk HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http:////vk", host: "www.igoido012.com", referrer: "http://www.baidu.com/"

Logs are written to *.log.1 instead of *.log

For some reason my log files are writing to the *.log.1 files instead of the *.log files, e.g. for my Postfix log files it is writing to /var/log/mail.log.1 and not /var/log/mail.log as expected. Same goes for mail.err. It looks like it's also doing it for auth.log and syslog. Here is a ls -lt snippet… >>> More
