Topic: Rotate access logs

[jose.molinab]

Hi,

I have an Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) PHP/5.3.4 installed on Windows 2008 x64.
I need to set the rotation of access logs the virtualhost every night since I have 10GB log files and can not be treated.
How do I set this in Apache for Windows?

thanks

On apachehaus.com here is Mod Log Rotate for x64 Apache. With that module you can rotate the files by time. So files won't get that large.

You also could use rotatelogs.exe [1]

Hi

the Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) is x32, serves the same module x64? the number is 86400 seconds?. Apache there is x64?

[James Blond]

Whoops sorry I overread that your apache is 32bit. On http://www.apachelounge.com/download/ you can find a 32 bit version. Yes the 86400 are second. And yes on apachehaus you can find a complete apache in x64.

Hi,

But I copied the folder mod_log_rotate.so in Apache dir, but the rotatelogs.exe and where is it? In the download area?, whre i copied?
Then I add a line in httpd.conf or a Windows task.
If you set the log rotate at 5pm, which file I generated, 5pm to 5am or create one per day

thanks

Use only one. Mod_logrotate or rotatelogs.exe. rotatelogs.exe
should be in the in the apache bin folder where httpd.exe is.

For mod_lorotate config see
http://hexten.net/wiki/index.php/Mod-log-rotate

IS correct??

LoadModule log_rotate_module modules/mod_log_rotate.so
RotateLogs On
RotateInterval 86400
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}i\"" combined

OR
LoadModule log_rotate_module modules/mod_log_rotate.so
RotateLogs On
CustomLog "|D:/apache/bin/rotatelogs D:/Apache/log/access_ex%y%m%d.log combined 86400" common

[James Blond]

I do it like

[jose.molinab]

then leave the line as the apache?

[James Blond]

use mod_log_rotate: use the first example. Use rotatelogs: use the second example. At least you should try
