Apache Log File Rotation

[sidhighwind]

Hello,

I am wondering what some people do for log file rotation. We have just started getting our logs to hit the 2 gig mark before the end of the week and we are having to rotate it by hand on thrusday or friday. I am wondering how other big websites handle this problem.

Please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

I use the built-in logrotate.

It rotates the logs daily, gzips them, and will only keep a certain number of logs.

Read 'man logrotate' for more info.

We use that also. We rotate them on sundays only but I think that i will talk to the server admin about maybe doing them on wednesday and sundays. I'm just not sure.

Thanks for the info.
