I've downloaded mod_log_rotate-1.00a-w32.zip, and followed the instructions in the ReadMe.txt for installation:
copy mod_log_rotate.so to my Apache's modules directory
I do run Apache 2.2.8 from ApacheLounge (but I've tried copying httpd.exe.manifest to bin anyway)
I've installed the Vis C++ 2005 runtime
LoadModule line (cut/paste from the ReadMe.txt) is there
Put the directives (per the ReadMe.txt) into httpd.conf
When I run httpd from the command line, it just silently exits a couple seconds after I start it. No error messages.
I've got all the mod_log_rotate specific things inside an
<IfModule log_config_module>
element, and when I put a typo inside that element httpd complains, so I know it's loading the module.
If I comment out all the Rotate* directives, leaving only the CustomLog line with an access log file name using strftime components and run httpd, it runs, but creates a log file called:
D:\somewhere\apache2.2\logs>dir access_*
Volume in drive D has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 7023-935C
Directory of D:\somewhere\apache2.2\logs
03/11/2008 08:33 AM 163 access_%Y%m%d-%H%M%s
1 File(s) 163 bytes
0 Dir(s) 15,276,609,536 bytes free
Which is not what I want.
Suggestions?

Please post your config part about the logs.
it should work like
| Code: |
TransferLog "C:/Apache2/logs/%Y-%m-%d.access.log"

I've got
| Code: | | LoadModule log_rotate_module modules/mod_log_rotate.so |
and then
| Code: | <IfModule log_rotate_module>
# mod_log_rotate configuration
#CustomLog logs/access_%Y%m%d-%H%M%s combined
TransferLog logs/access_%Y%m%d-%H%M%s
#RotateLogs On
#RotateLogsLocalTime On
#RotateInterval 60
</IfModule>
|
I've tried it with the CustomLog as above, as well as TransferLog line, but in both cases I get an access file that's named exactly as it is in the config above, with percent signs and all, other than substituted values.
If I uncomment the "RotateLogs On" line, I get a Dr. Watson ("Apache HTTP Server has encountered a problem and needs to close").

Strange.
First do not put httpd.exe.manifest in bin, C++ runtime does the job.
For tracking down your issue, please try first exactly the example from the docs:
| Code: | LoadModule log_rotate_module modules/mod_log_rotate.so
RotateLogs On
RotateInterval 60
CustomLog logs/access_log.%Y%m%d-%H%M%S common |
So not within a <ifModule element. |

Hey, NOW it works. I commented out all the stuff I'd entered, and did just a cut/paste from the above.
Cool. Thanks. Just now wondering why it didn't work before....
