advice on using rotatelogs, CusomLog etc

Hi,

I have been following this site to set up rotatelogs


What I have ended up adding to my Apache servers httpd.conf is this:


CustomLog "|/usr/sbin/rotatelogs -f -c /apps/squid/var_log_httpd/access_log.%Y.%m.%d.%H.%M 86400" common
CustomLog "|/usr/sbin/rotatelogs -f -c /apps/squid/var_log_httpd/error_log.%Y.%m.%d.%H.%M 86400" common

I've commented out these lines:

#ErrorLog logs/error_log
#CustomLog logs/access_log combined

My aim is to have the access_log and the error_log turned over daily at midnight. However I'm not sure what I've added/commented out is actually doing that. I'm thinking that the 2 lines I have added are actually just creating 2 copies of the access_log, just with different file names. That's because wen I look at the contents of the files generated they are exactly the same.

I tried adding this:

ErrorLog "|/usr/sbin/rotatelogs -f -c /apps/squid/var_log_httpd/error_log.%Y.%m.%d.%H.%M 86400" common

But when I stopped/started Apache I got this error:

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 559 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
ErrorLog takes one argument, The filename of the error log
                                                           [FAILED]


So my question is, does what I've added create and rotate both the access_log and the error_log?

Thanks in advance.

Russell.
