I use this: /var/log/httpd-access.log 644 3 100 * J /var/run/httpd.pid 30 /var/log/httpd-error.log 644 3 100 * J /var/run/httpd.pid 30 Signal 30 (SIGUSR1) causes Apache to do a graceful restart which is less disruptive for anyone using the web site, but it can result in a few log records being lost during the restart. If you're going to be running a busy website, then it's better to use rotatelogs(1) (comes with apache) or cronolog(1) (in ports) to cycle the log files. Neither of those handles compressing or deleteing old log files, but a trivial cron job will deal with that.

Apache's configuration file allows you to pipe your logs to sysutils/cronolog (or any other external program) which in turn can be configured to split the logs almost any way you like. This is very convenient, especially if you run many vhosts which normally will turn nywsyslog.conf into a mess. The man page explains it in detail. http://cronolog.org/download/cronolog.pdf Regards Morgan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Log rotation / newsyslog / apache not reloaded
Hello, I have the following lines in my /etc/newsyslog.conf /var/log/*-access.log 644 30*@T00 JCG /var/log/*-error.log644 30*@T00 JCG Man newsyslog.conf says: If this field (signal_number) is not present, then a SIGHUP signal will be sent. My problem is that while the apache logs are rotated as specified in the newsyslog.conf file, the apache server is not reloaded which causes it to write log entries to the now compressed files. Which flag should I specify to make sure apache is reloaded during log rotation? Thank you very much in advance!
