Are your logfiles rotated daily ?

If not you could use Cronolog to create daily log files:

http://www.ford-mason.co.uk/resources/cronolog/

Its an easy install, just the usual

tar -zxvf cronolog-x-x-x.tar.gz
cd cronolog-x-x-x
./configure
make
make install

Once installed you just modify / change some lines in the httpd.conf file, for 
example, here is the entry for one of my virtual sites (may wrap - should be two 
seperate lines) :

LogFormat "%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" 
combined

CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog /home/sites/site3/logs/%Y%m%daccess.log" 
combined


I have also tried using this in conjunction with gzip, but could never get it to 
compress files on the fly,  has anyone else ever got that to work ?


Also, as an aside I have a custom script to encrypt log files with gpg every night 
(which also compresses them ) if you're interested.
