Apache 2.2.11 Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 Hello all, I've searched the archives and only found confirmation of what my problem is, but no solutions. I am trying to configure apache httpd in such a way that logs are rotated on a daily basis, and the server is not shut down when doing so. Currently I am using piped output to the rotatelogs.exe process to do so. So far so good, right? Not so fast... I currently have httpd running as a windows service, logging on as a restricted user called "webserver". That account is very restricted in the folders that it can read/execute. In order to follow the security policy, the webserver account needs to be configured so that it cannot access cmd.exe. When httpd runs on windows and uses piped output to a log file, it creates a named piped and launches a "shell (cmd.exe)" to run the executable. FAIL! Windows does not seem to have the "apachectl graceful" command that unix does. The only solution that I see is to run apache, where it writes straight to a log file, write a script that shuts down httpd, moves the log file and restarts httpd. I'd rather not do that, as my server gets a lot of traffic during all hours of the day. Currently the server is not clustered. Any solutions? (and don't say move to Linux, I wish I could). -Phil --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
