While running the command /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/applogrotate. I get the error error: error setting owner of a.s to uid 0 and gid 0: Operation not permitted. Inside the applogratate file, I have written create 0664 root root which I think is the cause of the error. Can someone help with a resolution?

You need to run logrotate as root if you want to be able to create log files as root:
sudo logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/applogrotate
(assuming sudo is configured appropriately).

If you want, but you shouldn’t need to specify
/usr/sbinbecause that’s on root’s path by default. Jan 5 at 12:34 -

Getting another error - error: skipping a.s because parent directory has insecure permissions (It's world writable or writable by group which is not "root") Set "su" directive in config file to tell logrotate which user/group should be used for rotation. Jan 5 at 12:40
