Specific situation is:

Just migrated a customer from a RAQ2 to a RAQ3i.  They have a fairly busy
single web site (approx 12,000 visitors weekly).  On the RAQ2, we had a
routine of downloading web log files on a weekly basis.  The files would
typically be about 100MB in size.
Now on the RAQ3, the log file is rolling over every day (at approx. 4am).
If we do not download the file daily, we risk losing valuable log data.  

Is there any way to get the RAQ3i to produce logs on a weekly basis so we
can get back to the routine that worked for everyone concerned.  Or does
anyone have any other suggestions / workarounds.

We had a similar problem of a site on a raq3 that got alot of hits. For some 
reason, web.log was 0k all the time. We deleted the site and remade it. No 
luck. I edited /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, found the domain and at the end of 
the vhost for that domain i added:
ErrorLog /home/sites/www.domain.com/logs/domain.com-error_log
TransferLog /home/sites/www.domain.com/logs/domain.com-access_log 

Now be sure that the file is allowed to be deleted by a user in domain.com 
because the server WILL NOT delete thse files automatically! It's your job or 
your customers job to delete that file.
