Probably a bit simplistic but it has worked for me for a long time. I just run
it out of crontab everynight at 11:59 and it doesn't touch apache.
#!/bin/sh
DATE=`date +%Y%m%d`
LOGFILES="httpd-access.log httpd-error.log
LOGDIR="/var/log"
for i in $LOGFILES
do
cp /$LOGDIR/$i /$LOGDIR/$i.$DATE
>/$LOGDIR/$i
/usr/bin/gzip /$LOGDIR/$i.$DATE
done
Of course you can build on this.:-)
