Hi Tony, the answers to your first questions are yes and yes. I am running Apache 2.2.16 Here is my full path to rotatelogs: V:\Apache22\bin Here is my full path to logs folder: V:\Apache22\logs Here are my current logs in logs folder: access.log access_comb.log error.log install.log Here is portion of the config file, your recommended line is the last line: # # The location and format of the access logfile (Common Logfile Format). # If you do not define any access logfiles within a <VirtualHost> # container, they will be logged here. Contrariwise, if you *do* # define per-<VirtualHost> access logfiles, transactions will be # logged therein and *not* in this file. # CustomLog "logs/access.log" common # # If you prefer a logfile with access, agent, and referer information # (Combined Logfile Format) you can use the following directive. # CustomLog "logs/access_comb.log" combined TransferLog "| /Apache22/bin/rotatelogs -l -f /Apache22/logs/apache_access_log.%m-%d-%y-%I:%M:%S 86400"

Is "/Apache22/logs" the full path to Apache's "logs" directory ..??? What version of Apache are you using???? Please show the context in your httpd.conf in which you specified rotatelog. The example I provided was lifted from our httpd.conf (we are running V 22.10 in production). If you need a "greater" context, I can provide it for you. As an FYI, here is a link to the Apache2.2 documentation of TransferLog (which is what we use): http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_log_config.html#transferlog -tony From: Patrick McCambridge [mailto:mcca...@fdny.nyc.gov] Sent: Friday, November 12, 2010 7:05 AM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: RE: [us...@httpd] Rotating logs Hi Tony, finally had a chance to test this.
