I remember something like this when i ran Redhat, if i remember correctly,
httpd was writing the logs into /var/log/ and not /var/log/httpd, check to
see where httpd is wrinting the logs, its a symbolic link in /etc/httpd and
should point to /var/log/httpd/file
Mine was writing to /var/log/file is i remember correctly.
Unless you get hundreds of hits a day which will increase the filesize a
lot then it is not such a seriuos problem.
