logrotate is your friend.
A well configured logrotate will get around most of those problems.

I have Apache running on my system for web development with php.
Apache writes to an error.log file unique for the specific web site

During debugging the log file grows, and I like to clear it every now
and then.
I had to change ownership of the file to me. I five read/write to
everyone.
But when I truncate the file and save, Apache no longer writes to it.
The Apache error logs do not indicate a problem.
I restart Apache and all is good again. But this is a nuisance.
Is there a way to avoid this nuisance?
Thanks
