[rhelv6-list] rsyslog failing to log

[Paul Reilly]

Hi,

I've a new stock 6.1 box, and having some trouble with rsyslog.
I've added some additional syslog facilities to log to different files.
In my /etc/rsyslog.conf  I have entries for

local1.*        /logs/app1.log
local2.*        /logs/app2.log

These files exist already, with 755 permissions. However when I restart
rsyslogd, I get the following errors:

Sep 21 17:29:23 sys rsyslogd-2039: Could no open output file
'/logs/app1.log' [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2039 ]

If I remove the log files, rsyslogd  does not create them, which is what I
would have expected.
Any ideas what the problem is?

Paul
