My logs are too huge! How can I get Cpanel/WHM to rotate the domlogs daily? I tried editing the /etc/logrotate.conf but that doesn\'t seem to work.

PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU!

hey again :)

you need to specify the log rotate lines in /etc/logrotate.d/apache file

[quote:c0e0ad773c]
/home/username/logs/domain.com {
rotate 9
daily
compress
}
[/quote:c0e0ad773c]

delete the large log file first and restart apache before you add the above

i added the extra step to my instructions at http://i4net.tv/marticle/get.php?action=getarticle&articleid=22

This would be a nice feature for Cpanel systems to have the users logs created in their own account directories and Stats to work with this system too.

The only prolem is disk quota issue on per account basis if they did this larger sites that process a lot of requests can fill up 2 gigs of domlog entries in just a couple to few days.

Perhaps they could work around it to not count against user disk, or better yet allow enabling/disabling stats and domlog rotation options on a per account basis so the user can decide what they want to do from their cPanel.
