I'm having a couple issues with rotatelogs on my Win2k8 servers running Apache 2.2.14. First off, depending on the number of hits the logs can sometimes get up to, or over, 300mb. Can I have 2 different options in there so it starts a new log when it reaches 25MB and after 24hrs?
| Code: | ErrorLog "|bin/rotatelogs C:/weblogs/domains/brazil-fscampus-stage.com-error_log.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S 86400"
CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs C:/weblogs/domains/brazil-fscampus-stage.com-access_log.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S 86400" combined |
I was also wondering what the 'combined' offset is and should I use 'common' instead...does it really matter?
Thanks for any help! |

As the command line options say, rotatelogs can either handle a switch for the filesize or for the time.
cronolog behaves in the same way. So:
Have you thought about rotating the log after 3600 seconds, e.g.
ErrorLog "|bin/rotatelogs C:/weblogs/domains/brazil-fscampus-stage.com-error_log.%Y-%m-%d-%H 3600"
Usage of option combined instead of common: you have 2 additional fields in the logfile - you should find detailed information in the apache-manual (not too much to read):
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/logs.html
Usage of "rotatelogs" for access.log, error.log and https.log:
It works for me. My tests showed, Apache can handle only 1 piped log if you do not use the full path.
Example (I hope I recollected this correctly out of my mind):
CustomLog "|c:/apache2.2/bin/rotatelogs.exe C:/apache2.2/logs/access_%Y-%m-%d.log 86400" common
ErrorLog "|c:/apache2.2/bin/rotatelogs.exe C:/apache2.2/logs/error_%Y-%m-%d.log 86400"
https:
TransferLog .... (same as CustomLog, I do not know if you run into trouble if you do not specify a separate file.)
Hope this helps. |
