The below in newsyslog.conf works fine here for both httpd and error
logs for main and virtual hosts - Apache 1.3.3 anyway. Edited a tad:
/usr/var/log/httpd-access.log 640 14 500 * - /var/run/httpd.pid
/usr/var/log/httpd-error.log 640 14 200 * - /var/run/httpd.pid
/usr/var/log/grnwk-access.log root.xxxx 640 14 500 * - /var/run/httpd.pid
/usr/var/log/grnwk-error.log root.xxxx 640 14 200 * - /var/run/httpd.pid

Newsyslog sending SIGHUP, as above works here ..
