[users@httpd] Apache Log File 2GB
Hi List,
i have access_logs >2GB and Apache 2.2.8 want restart in correct way. Is
there a hint to let LogFiles grow larger or is the only way to rotate at
reaching 2GB?
Thank you
Andre

Personally I prefer "logrotate", which can be scheduled as cron and do
the rotation for you.

To rotate the logs you can use Apaches piped rotatelogs:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/rotatelogs.html
Put something like the following in your httpd.conf (or whereever your logging is define), 'CustomLog "| <APACHE_HOME>/bin/rotatelogs -l <APACHE_HOME>/logs/access_log%Y-%m-%d_%H_%M_%S 2048M" custom'
That should rotate at 2 gigs.

What is the advantage of having larger log files? Why not rotate daily?
You don't want to rotate once it reaches 2GB. You should be doing it way
before then. Large log files are harder to search through and make sense
of.
