I'm a newbie admin and I've just figure out something that will be
obvious to most on this list... that apache log files can get big, fast.
I did a df for another reason the other day and was surprised to see
my /var partition at 85% full.
Anyway, I did some googling and decided to use rotatelogs to do just
that.
Now... I've updated all my apache config files to use rotate logs,
like this:
ErrorLog "|/usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs /var/log/www/nes.com-error.log.
%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S 86400"
CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs /var/log/www/nes.com-
access.log.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S 5M" combined
Unless I am blind and not seeing something, this is right out of the
man page.
The problem is that the access logs are rolling over very quickly...
no where near the 5 Meg I expected. It's not quite every access, but
almost.

I've been scratching my head over this for an hour, but can't see
anything wrong. Any hints much appreciated.
