You're welcome.  Hope it helps.

No.  You have to add the "compress" line to the logrotation script for the
site in question.  The logrotation script for a site can be found in
/etc/logrotate.d/siteXY.  The logrotation script below (on a RaQ2) gzips the
current log on the 1st of the month, creates a new blank log and names the
just-gzipped log combined-access.1.gz.  The next month it gets renamed .2.gz
and then new gzipped log gets named .1.gz, etc.  You should be able to learn
from the logrotate script below to put together one to meet your needs.

/var/log/httpd/combined-access {
    compress
    rotate 12
    monthly
    postrotate
        killall -USR1 httpd
    endscript
}
