I am using cronolog to handle the logging end of apache. Cronolog = basically takes care of the logging for apache, allowing you much more = flexibility with the logging options. =20 Assuming.. 1. You have cronolog installed 2. /path/to/your/logs/vhost1/ is a valid path A sample Apache config line would read (main or virtual host context): ErrorLog "|cronolog /path/to/your/logs/vhost1/%Y%m%d_error.log" CustomLog "|cronolog /path/to/your/logs/vhost1/%Y%m%d_access.log" = combined I this example, you will generate logs with the names 20061108_error.log = and 20061108_access.log respectively and each day (midnight server time) = cronolog will auto-gen new ones as soon as apache sends it something to = log. Using this method, cronolog is doing the logging for Apache = specifically the way when where and how you want it negating the need = for further scripting and manipulating of the logs afterward. Hope that helps.
