i did that and it works fine, however
when i run rotatelogs from apache's dir i get this instructions
%/usr/local/apache/bin/rotatelogs
Usage: /usr/local/apache/bin/rotatelogs <logfile> <rotation time in seconds>
[offset minutes from UTC]
Add this:
TransferLog "|/usr/local/apache/bin/rotatelogs /some/where 86400"
to httpd.conf. The generated name will be /some/where.nnnn where nnnn is the
system time at which the log nominally starts (N.B. this time will always be
a
multiple of the rotation time, so you can synchronize cron scripts with it).
At the end of each rotation time a new log is started.
%
so they suggest to use TransferLog instead of CustomLog
this is also an answer for my question 4
