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.

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

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!
