[thelist] help with logrotate...please

[Howard The Duck]

For Apache 1.3 i use cronolog - should be easy to find out where to get
it, i think it's even mentioned in the apache documentation...

here's an example httpd.conf directive to use it

CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog \
--symlink=/var/log/httpd/maxxx_log \
/var/log/httpd/%Y/maxxx_log.%W" common

the backslashes mean that this should be inserted in one line. This
example creates a directory for every year and creates a logfile with
the number of the week of the year as extension like:
/var/log/httpd/2002/maxxx_log.15
an a symlink is there for webalizer to get new infos - BTW if you rotate
logs you need to change some settings with webalizer to always get all
information. You can use any C-style date formatting options (daily,
hourly, full date in filename,....) for cronolog, but for my pages it's
enough to rotate weekly.
