Topic: apache graceful interrupt the active connection

[vijayt779]

Hi,

We are rotating apache logs 4 times during the day, we are using apache graceful as part of the script so it will generate all new log files.

But I recently found it is killing/closing the active connection for ex: If I am downloading a large file, it fails during the apache graceful restart.

I really appreciate any thoughts/ideas on this?

Please help me.

Thanks

mod_log_rotate can at least handle the access logs without restarting graceful.
For error log you can use rotatelogs(.exe) from the apache bin folder.

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/programs/rotatelogs.html

Hi

I did try "rotatelogs" but its not rotating, do I need to recompile with any module?

Please help

Nope you don't.

Can you please post the config that you tried?

CustomLog "|/usr/local/apache-dyna/bin/rotatelogs /usr/local/apache-dyna/logs/access_log 300" common

Should I post the full confg. please let me know
