Configure your /etc/logrotate.d/apache
file to rotate each week your Apache log files automatically.
Create the apache
file, touch /etc/logrotate.d/apache
and add:
/var/log/httpd/access_log { missingok postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd endscript } /var/log/httpd/error_log { missingok postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd endscript } /var/log/httpd/ssl_request_log { missingok postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd endscript } /var/log/httpd/ssl_engine_log { missingok postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd endscript }
Lines to automatically rotate the SSL log files named ssl_request_log
and ssl_engine_log
are included in this file. If you
intend to run Apache without SSL support, you must remove the lines related to SSL.
