If you host a lot of virtual servers on a single Apache box and use the supplied rotatelogs program to rotate the logs you’ll notice that your process table is cluttered up with an instance of rotatelogs for each virtual server. With mod_log_rotate the log rotation is handled by the server process so you save a bunch of processes and file descriptors.

Try:
RotateLogs On
RotateInterval 7200
Should rotate every 3 hours, so you have not wait so long to see if it is working.

|
|
| Even though it rotates fine every day at 7pm EST (12 am UTM), these options do not do anything. RotateInterval and RotateLogsLocalTime seem to be broken. Is this related to the port? |

RTFM  You can set only RotateLogsLocalTime On|Off
If you want to rotate at 7 pm
| Code: |
RotateLogsLocalTime On
RotateInterval 86400 300

What i'm saying is that it rotates at 7pm whether or not I set any other options such as
| Code: |
RotateLogsLocalTime On
RotateInterval 86400 300
|
The above options have no effect (in fact I would like logs to rotate at midnight localtime, but I can't seem to get those options to do anything. Has anyone actually gotten it to work? |

From the manual
RotateLogsLocalTime On|Off
Normally the log rotation interval is based on UTC. For example an interval of 86400 (one day) will cause the logs to rotate at UTC 00:00. When this option is on, log rotation is timed relative to the local time.
RotateInterval <interval> [<offset>]
Set the interval in seconds for log rotation. The default is 86400 (one day). The shortest interval that can be specified is 60 seconds. An optional second argument specifies an offset in minutes which is applied to UTC (or local time if RotateLogsLocalTime is on). For example RotateInterval 86400 60 will cause logs to be rotated at 23:00 UTC. |

I don't see how quoting the manual helps me. I read the manual, and what i'm saying is that these options don't work. I put them in the config file, and they have no effect. The logs still rotate at 7pm EST (which is 00:00 UTC).
