Re: Apache 2.2, rotatelogs.exe, and Windows

Nope, I excluded that as a possible cause pretty quickly.  I don't know why, but 

it's something about the actual inclusion of the piped commands to rotatelogs 

that actually causes the false error about nonexistent Unicode characters.  If I 

uncomment them, I get the error... if I comment them out, I don't.

Now you know why I'm asking for help with this.  What exactly about my syntax 

(see previous post with sample) is so broken that it could cause such a non 

sequitur error?

Sounds like a BOM issue. Try either saving the config file with a
non-unicode encoding, or otherwise disable BOMs in your editor. Apache
is not able to deal with byte order marks in config files as far as i
know.
