nginx using access.log.1 after using a logrotate script under ubuntu (from source)

[Daniel Hahler]

You may want to try the current version from Jeff Waugh's (development) PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~jdub/+archive/devel

He has a stable PPA, too, but nginx 0.8.x is often used in production already.


Cheers,
Daniel
