Hello,

I am getting system instability using rotatelogs on apache 2.2 on
windows.

When apache starts, it creates a rotatelogs process for each piped
application in the conf file (each site has it's own CustomLog and
ErrorLog definitions )

When I try and restart apache, these child processes don't get stopped
and I end up with hundreds of them and the logging stops working
properly (i.e logs stop rotating)

If I simply stop apache and then kill all the rotatelog processes then
restart apache, the server doesn't respond.

The only 'safe' way I can restart apache is to restart the entire
server. This is a tedious and undesired way of restarting apache.

What am I doing wrong? Is this is a config issue?

When I recall it is a known issue with rotatelogs, it clutters up with an instance of rotatelogs for each virtual server.

Maybe you can give mod_log_rotate from here a try.
