[users@httpd] rotatelogs.exe keeps one giant file
Hi,
like with a lot of other people, our log files grew too big over time.
So we decided to give rotatelogs a try (I am talking about Apache
Httpd 2.2 on Windows Server 2003 R2, 64 Bit.) Here's the relevant
excerpt from httpd.conf:
$ grep rotatelogs httpd.conf
ErrorLog "|C:/Prg/Apache2.2/bin/rotatelogs.exe -l -f
C:/Prg/Apache2.2/logs/error.%Y.%m.%d.log 86400"
CustomLog "|C:/Prg/Apache2.2/bin/rotatelogs.exe -l -f
C:/Prg/Apache2.2/logs/access.%Y.%m.%d.log 86400" common
However, looking into the logs directory, I see the files listed
below. Two things strike me as odd:
a) There is a daily entry for the access.log. Good. But, what about
the error.log?
b)There's still a gian
$ ls -CAl | awk '{print $1 " " $5 " " $9}'
total
-rwxrwx---+ 182734 access.2014.09.15.log
-rwxrwx---+ 203230 access.2014.09.16.log
-rwxrwx---+ 201600 access.2014.09.17.log
-rwxrwx---+ 205652 access.2014.09.18.log
-rwxrwx---+ 201460 access.2014.09.19.log
-rwxrwx---+ 201600 access.2014.09.20.log
-rwxrwx---+ 201600 access.2014.09.21.log
-rwxrwx---+ 205650 access.2014.09.22.log
-rwxrwx---+ 201600 access.2014.09.23.log
-rwxrwx---+ 204885 access.2014.09.24.log
-rwxrwx---+ 69020 access.2014.09.25.log
-rwxrwx---+ 3295014892 access.log
-rwx------+ 776 error.2014.08.20.log
-rwxrwx---+ 843 error.2014.09.02.log
-rwxrwx---+ 843 error.2014.09.08.log
-rwxrwx---+ 843 error.2014.09.15.log

Kurt,
Why is there no gravity?

Your directory list shows that there are error logs with the date stamp, are those not the result of rotatelogs?

What's the date/time stamp on the one error log? As Kurt said, and from
what I read online, files are only generated when there's output for that
log. I think 2.4.10 has a -c option to generate a file even if there's no
output.

Hi!
The behaviour of the ErrorLog is as designed. rotatelogs does not create a file when nothing is logged during that given interval.
Some ideas about the big file issue:
- are you sure you have no additional ErrorLog or CustomLog directives?
- maybe you have an additional apache instance with the old configuration running (unlikely, but...)?
- are the big files current or leftovers from before (unlikely, but...)?

So we decided to give rotatelogs a try (I am talking about Apache
Httpd 2.2 on Windows Server 2003 R2, 64 Bit.) Here's the relevant
excerpt from httpd.conf:
$ grep rotatelogs httpd.conf

However, looking into the logs directory, I see the files listed

a) There is a daily entry for the access.log. Good. But, what about
