Hi all!
When I dealt with the jobs database applet, I also found out
that /var/log/apache occupies much more space than it should. Turns out the
logs for the virtual hosts still were not rotated.
After reading "man logrotate" I found out the following:
<<<
-f, --force
Tells logrotate to force the rotation, even if it doesn't think
this is necessary. Sometimes this is useful after adding new
entries to a logrotate config file, or if old log files have
been removed by hand, as the new files will be created, and log-
ging will continue correctly.
>>>
After running "logrotate -f" once, populating the new logs and running it
again, we now have compressed logs. As a result, the Apache logs directory
now occupies 100 MB instead of 500 MB. A year from now, there'll be another
dramatic improvement as the huge compressed log up to now will be removed.
