Re: Access and Error Logs Being Created Before Reaching Maximum Size or Time

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




This is running on Microsoft Windows.  I could find nothing in the Task Scheduler (equivalent of cron?) that would indicate this is running.

It would have been Apache httpd that initialized the Task Scheduler itself with a logrotate command when httpd was started.

Best,

This may be a dumb question but do you have logrotate running from cron?

If so, check your configuration and see if the log is being rotated by BOTH  
logrotate AND httpd.

BRIEF BACKGROUND
>From the Internet, users can access my web server using EITHER name
*website1*.dynalias.org OR *website2*.dyndns.blog.com (provided by
DynDNS.com dynamic DNS).  The VHOSTS file sends them to different
document routes depending on the name they chose.   In addition, I can
enter "http://localhost" and be taken to a different document root
(should not be accessible to those outside); this too defined in VHOSTS
file (see below).

{Note the hostnames *website1 *and *website2 *are replacements of real
names, but the rest of each name is real (domain+tld)]

_*THE PROBLEM*_
My two log files, error and access, for all three virtual hosts are
being rotated well before they have reached size or time limit! 
Practically being rotated on the beginning of a new day.  What is
happening?

=================================

The two sections below (LOG FILE DEFINITIONS / CONFIGURATION) are in the
httpd.conf and httpd-vhosts.conf files to show how the log file config
are set up.

The section at the bottom contains possibly relevant additional
information.

If you note/observe any (other) alarming configuration setting or other
problem/misconfiguration, your reply is appreciated.
