Cary, I've been using cronolog (/usr/ports/sysutils/cronolog) for many years with great success to keep my apache logs rotated. In httpd.conf (or your vhost config) put something similar: CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog /path/to/www/logs/%Y-%m-access.log" combined Cronolog is smart enough to know when to rotate the logs based on your customlog string. The above gives me 1 log a month for my personal low traffic sites, busier sites may want to go daily or hourly to avoid huge logs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cary" <cary@SDF.ORG> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Monday, May 9, 2016 4:27:03 PM Subject: file receives no input after turn over by newsyslog(8) Hi all, Perhaps someone might be able to help. The /var/log/httpd-access.log file is turned over at least once a week on a VPS running 10.2-Stable. /var/log/httpd-*.log 644 10 500 * GX is the line I have in /etc/newsyslog.conf. After the file is turned over no messages are saved from the apache24 daemon. There is just a line from newsyslog(8) with the date, hostname process number and a message that the file was turned over. After restarting httpd(8) all messages are logged again. Other httpd-* log files are do not fill up as quickly, but are probably affected as well. How can I keep getting logs from the server without a service restart? -- cary@sdf.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
