your computer should check the logs and rotate them automaticall However, we
found that (on our system) the log rotation was not set right for the httpd
error log.
you have to telnet in your box, and do the following:
su
[enter the password]
cd /etc/logrotate.d

if you list that directory, you'll see all the logs rotation for every
sites, etc.
you want to fix the error log, so:
pico apache

find the lines looking like
/var/log/httpd/error_log {
    missingok
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/httpd.pid`
    endscript
}

and replace them with:
/var/log/httpd/error {
    missingok
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/httpd.pid`
    endscript
}
that is if your error log is named "error", else replace it with the name
you have.

Once that is done, the log will start rotating at 4h22 AM, you can check the
day after and you will have it compressed.  Our error log was up to
something like 1gb and compressed into a nice 60mb error log.
;)
Enjoy!
