Question
Are Log files for the virtual hosts on the RaQ rotated automatically?


Response
Yes, logs are rotated automatically. The logs are rotated depending on the
size of the log and which log file it is. For an exact account of when each
log is rotated, you can view the rotate scripts in the /etc/logrotate.d/
directory. Listed below is an example of the log rotating for the Web
server:
/var/log/httpd/home-access

compress
size 30M
postrotate
killall -USR1 httpd
endscript
}

/var/log/httpd/home-error

compress
size 5M
postrotate
killall -USR1 httpd
endscript
}

It rotates the home-access log when it reaches 30 Megabytes and the
home-error log when it reaches 5 Megabytes.
