[users@httpd] Newbie problem with rotatelogs

I have set up logging in my httpd.conf file as follows

    CustomLog logs/access.log common
    CustomLog "L:/apache/bin/rotatelogs logs/access.log 900" common

I set up access.log in the first line a few days ago, and it works fine. Today I
decided to rotate the log using the instruction in the second line, but when I
restart to activate the new configuration, I get this in the error log:

The system cannot find the path specified.  : could not open transfer log file
L:/Apache/bin/rotatelogs logs/access.log 900.

The executable rotatelogs.exe is indeed in the L:/apache/bin folder. What am I
missing?

Ohh, THAT's what that thingy is! I didn't understand it, so I ignored it. I'll
go back and RTFM. Again. Thanks!

A pipe |.

Without it, the entire quoted argument is taken as a filename.
