how to move logs out of /usr ?

[Radio_Head]

Hello

I need/wish to move logs

[/usr/local/apache/domlogs]
and
[/usr/local/apache/logs]

out of /usr for example on /home/apachelogs/

any way to do that ?

THANK YOU
(long time ago I read something on this forum but now I cannot find the post)

I was thinking to do this


======================
mkdir /home/apache/logs/
chmod 755 /home/apache/logs

mkdir /home/apache/domlogs
chmod 755 /home/apache/domlogs


mv /usr/local/apache/logs/* /home/apache/logs
mv /usr/local/apache/domlogs/* /home/apache/domlogs


rmdir /usr/local/apache/logs
rmdir /usr/local/apache/domlogs

/etc/rc.d/init.d/chkservd stop;/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop

ln -s /home/apache/logs /usr/local/apache/logs
ln -s /home/apache/domlogs /usr/local/apache/domlogs

/etc/rc.d/init.d/chkservd start;/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

======================


What do you think , it will work fine ?

Hello

I executed the procedure above , ok worked fine


If apache doesn't update logs try
to stop and restart again apache.

Could've shortened it too.

======================
mkdir /home/apache/

mv /usr/local/apache/logs /home/apache
mv /usr/local/apache/domlogs /home/apache

/etc/rc.d/init.d/chkservd stop;/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop

ln -s /home/apache/logs /usr/local/apache/logs
ln -s /home/apache/domlogs /usr/local/apache/domlogs

/etc/rc.d/init.d/chkservd start;/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

======================

That would do the same thing. With mkdir, permissions are already 755, and when moving an entire directory, it's not necessary to create it's new location first.
