Hi!
The behaviour of the ErrorLog is as designed. rotatelogs does not create a file when nothing is logged during that given interval.
Some ideas about the big file issue:
- are you sure you have no additional ErrorLog or CustomLog directives?
- maybe you have an additional apache instance with the old configuration running (unlikely, but...)?
- are the big files current or leftovers from before (unlikely, but...)?

Betreff: rotatelogs.exe keeps one giant file [wd-vc]
Hi,
like with a lot of other people, our log files grew too big over time.
So we decided to give rotatelogs a try (I am talking about Apache
Httpd 2.2 on Windows Server 2003 R2, 64 Bit.) Here's the relevant
excerpt from httpd.conf:
$ grep rotatelogs httpd.conf
ErrorLog "|C:/Prg/Apache2.2/bin/rotatelogs.exe -l -f
C:/Prg/Apache2.2/logs/error.%Y.%m.%d.log 86400"
CustomLog "|C:/Prg/Apache2.2/bin/rotatelogs.exe -l -f
C:/Prg/Apache2.2/logs/access.%Y.%m.%d.log 86400" common
However, looking into the logs directory, I see the files listed
below. Two things strike me as odd:
a) There is a daily entry for the access.log. Good. But, what about
the error.log?
b)There's still a gian
$ ls -CAl | awk '{print $1 " " $5 " " $9}'
total
