Topic: Problem doing a simple log rotation help !

[dcreatorx]

Hello everybody ! Nice to be here with you all ! I've got a problem, I'm trying to do a log rotation and I can't get it done. I'm an Apache newbie and I'm at job! This is a real case so please help me! This is the part of the log code and you will see I'm following the example on Apache documentation, but I can't get it to work. Thank you in advance !

# ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.
# If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost>
# container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be
# logged here. If you *do* define an error logfile for a <VirtualHost>
# container, that host's errors will be logged there and not here.
#
ErrorLog D:/Logs/Apache/error.log

#
# LogLevel: Control the number of messages logged to the error_log.
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
#
LogLevel warn

<IfModule log_config_module>
#
# The following directives define some format nicknames for use with
# a CustomLog directive (see below).
#
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common


<IfModule logio_module>
# You need to enable mod_logio.c to use %I and %O
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" %I %O" combinedio
</IfModule>

CustomLog "|C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin\rotatelogs.exe D:\Logs\Apache\acces.log 500" common

#
# The location and format of the access logfile (Common Logfile Format).
# If you do not define any access logfiles within a <VirtualHost>
# container, they will be logged here. Contrariwise, if you *do*
# define per-<VirtualHost> access logfiles, transactions will be
# logged therein and *not* in this file.
#
CustomLog D:/Logs/Apache/access.log common

#
# If you prefer a logfile with access, agent, and referer information
# (Combined Logfile Format) you can use the following directive.
#
#CustomLog logs/access.log combined
</IfModule>

You have defined the CustomLog twice! Only the one with the rotatelog. Than it should do. Comment the second one out.


Btw, why not use http://www.hexten.net/mod_log_rotate/ ?
