apache logs not rotating

[ukagg]

Hi,

/usr/local/apache/logs/access_log and /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log have grown too large on all my CentOS4.x servers. All other logs (except these 2) are rotating properly.

I think, this is because there is no file named apache or httpd in /etc/logrotate.d/

Can someone suggest how to fix it?

Thanks

here is a copy of the 'apache' file we used in the /etc/logrotate.d folder and works quiet well.

/usr/local/apache/logs/*_log {
notifempty
daily
rotate 1
missingok
compress
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}

you might need to use the

rotate 3

when you use rotate 1 its will only keep one log archive and above code rotate every day, if you wanna trouble shoot issues with access.log or something you might need few days of logs, so if you are using daily i would recommend to use 3+

hope that helps
