It is configured to rotate the main Apache log file typically weekly or monthly. Yet, Apache configuration for virtual hosts (virtual_host) suggests creating separate logs for each virtual host, and in a directory named for the site. This is typically under the primary Apache log directory. Consider a server where /var/log/apache2/access.log is the primary apache log, but there is a virtual host which a log under /var/log/apache2/www.smokinghotbabes.com/access.log. Now looking in /etc/logrotate.d/httpd the default config is: /var/log/apache2/*.log { missingok notifempty postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd endscript }This default installed configuration for logrotate.d/httpd will only rotate the primary web site. It will not rotate virtual host sites. This can be amended by adding another part to the log rotation configuration script: /var/log/apache2/*.log { missingok notifempty postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd endscript } /var/log/apache2/*/*.log { missingok notifempty postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd endscript }== External Resources ==* [http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/07/logrotate-examples/ HowTo: The Ultimate Logrotate Command Tutorial with 10 Examples]* [http://aaron.kavlie.net/2010/05/server-admin/apache-logs-and-logrotate-d/ Apache logs and logrotate.d]
