I have had a similar problem with the one you have listed below.
The problem lies with the TransferLog pipe to app_error_log
To stop the access log (which is defined as TransferLog) overwritting =
the error log you need to change the line=20
TransferLog "|/usr/local/apache/bin/rotatelogs =
/usr/local/apache/logs/urs.app_error_log 3600"
to the following
ErrorLog "|/usr/local/apache/bin/rotatelogs =
/usr/local/apache/logs/urs.app_error_log 3600"
Hope this is not too late.
Regarding the problem
IN HTTPD.CONF:
ErrorLog /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" =
\"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
CustomLog /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log combined
PerlModule Apache::LogFile
PerlLogFile logs/urs.app_error_log My::URS::ERRLog
TransferLog "|/usr/local/apache/bin/rotatelogs =
/usr/local/apache/logs/urs.app_error_log 3600"
I'm getting it to rotate the logs without a problem, but for some WIERD =
reason (I can't explain) it
puts access_log and error_log content in these files when it is not =
supposed to. If I turn off the
TransferLog part, the problem goes away. I see this happens most often =
when the mod_perl application
running doesn't write to the My::URS::ERRLog (i.e. there was nothing to =
report).
