Hello,
I have Apache installed/compiled from source in my server (*not* from RPM). In
its httpd.conf, I specify so that it writes its log in /var/log/apache/logs/.
The log files are access_log and error_log.
So I read the man page for logrotate, and thought to play around with it. I
want the apache logs to be rotated, and I add these to my
/etc/logrotate.conf:
# rotate apache logs (added by reubendb)
/var/log/apache/logs/access_log {
rotate 5
weekly
}
/var/log/apache/logs/error_log {
rotate 5
weekly
}
It seems that logrotate works fine. In my /var/log/apache/logs directory now I
can see access_log, access_log.1, error_log, error_log.1, etc.
But apparently when the log files are rotated, apache keep writing to the old
one. So right now my Apache still writes to access_log.2 and error_log.2.
Both access_log and error_log are empty, and so are access_log.1 and
error_log.1
This, I think, kinda make sense if Apache already opened the file and keep it
open. logrotate changes the logname, but apache keep "refers" to the file
itself. If I restart Apache, then it will write to access_log and error_log.
So my question is, how do I solve this problem?
Thanks a lot for any help.
RDB
