[CentOS] How to rotate PHP error log - since it belongs to apache
Hello, I'm using CentOS 6.2 with the stock rpm php-5.3.3-3.el6_2.8.x86_64 and the following /etc/php.ini file: error_reporting = E_ALL ~E_DEPRECATED display_errors = Off error_log = /var/log/php/php_errors.log and that file is very useful for me because I have many custom PHP-scripts at my site, but that file keeps growing too... :-) So my question is for how to rotate it (esp. since it should be owned by apache user) - what do you guys use?

the standard logrotate config /etc/logrotate.d/httpd or a modified copy of it

to worry about the ownership issue
yes, I'm aware of that file and have modified
the docs path in it because I have several vhosts too...
Here is my current /etc/logrotate.d/httpd file:
/var/log/httpd/my_vhost_1/*log {
missingok
notifempty
sharedscripts
delaycompress
postrotate
/sbin/service httpd reload /dev/null 2/dev/null || true
endscript
}
But my problem is I don't know how to do it best -
i.e. where to put the PHP log file
/var/log/php/php_errors.log
in the directives above and also how to rotate
the logs for all vhosts I have (I currently rotate just
for one - the my_vhost_1 as you can see above)

Create a different file under /etc/logrotate.d (perhaps name it
phplog, doesn't really mater though) and add the appropriate
configuration options. I used this website to help me with the
necessary options (though the man page is more than sufficient as well):
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/07/logrotate-examples/
Here is a custom logrotate conf I created for my catalina logs:
[root@390405-web1 images]# cat /etc/logrotate.d/tomcat
/opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.34/logs/catalina.out {
daily
copytruncate
delaycompress
missingok
postrotate
/root/bin/catlog_mv.sh
endscript
}
If you were wanting to rotate according to the size of the file (perhaps
512MB, whatever works for you though) owned by apache, you might create
a file under /etc/logrotate.d/ containing something like the following:
/var/log/php/php_errors.log {
size 512MB
create 644 apache apache
missingok
compress
}
There's all kinds of other options you can add as well. Read the
article I linked earlier and/or the man page, it's really pretty
trivial. Good luck :)
