Re: Dates in httpd.conf?

Why are you trying to avoid logrotate this way instead of configuring logrotate to do what you want?

This just seems a no-go way to do things imo.

date into an apache variable I can use within the config.

A prior install involved running sed commands to update the config files
on apache startup (!!) which I’m trying to get rid of.

Define DATE ??

If you only need a date which is per startup, but does not change after the web server start:

In you start script or in envvars define and export a shell variable, e.g.

NOW=`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S`
export NOW

and then in the config you can use ${NOW}

Note that this will not update the timestamp if you do a "apachectl restart" or "apachectl graceful", only by stop and then start.

What is your reason you don't want to use piped logging?

Rainer
