[cobalt-users] Logrotate or Apache not using /var/log/httpd/errors after cron.daily

[Paul Warner <pwarner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure who's not behaving, but SOME days apache will not log to the
/var/log/httpd/errors file.  Using /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd reload or restart
will cause it to begin again.  There have been no issues with it failing to
log into access or other files, just ~50% of the time it messes up on the
error log.

Permissions on all files are identical, as are owner/group.  Logrotate
settings are (in order they appear):

/var/log/httpd/access {
    prerotate
        /usr/local/sbin/split_logs web < /var/log/httpd/access
    endscript
    missingok
    postrotate
        /usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd 2> /dev/null || true
    endscript
    daily
}

/var/log/httpd/error {
    missingok
    postrotate
        /usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd 2> /dev/null || true
    endscript
    daily
}

I can also execute the '/usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd 2> /dev/null || true'
command from a shell as root and get it to restart.  There are no error
reports from logrotate, httpd, or cron.  Normally, as least the 'resuming
normal operations' message starts the new log...
