Patrick,
For me, examples always help the most.
Here's what we do...
TransferLog "| /usr/local/apache/bin/rotatelogs -l -f /var/adm/syslog/apache_access_log.%m-%d-%y-%I:%M:%S 86400"
This way, our apache_access_log filename is appended with the month-day-year-hour-minute-second...
...and its rotated every 86400 seconds (once a day).
You'll note we specify "-l", which means all processing is done in local time.
Here's an example of one of our apache_access_log filenames:
/var/adm/syslog/apache_access_log.11-05-10-12:00:00
hope this helps.

Subject: Rotating logs
Because I am not a Unix person or web developer, I am struggling with the exercise to rotate my logs in Apache (I am running 2.2).
When I add the following command to my httpd.conf file, it creates a file called access_log.old (in the time interval I designate), but Apache still continues to write to the original log.
Here is the command I am using:
CustomLog "|apache22/bin/rotatelogs /apache22/logs/archive_log 300" combine
How do I tweak this to ensure the new log that is created becomes the primary log, until it's time to replace it, and them it becomes archived?
Thank you in advance.
Patrick
