geese... Thats crazy...

you need to determine why it's not running.. many things can cause this....
you can do
/usr/sbin/logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf

but you have the error message
==================================
errors occured while rotating /var/log/httpd/access

error running prerotate script -- 
leaving old log in place
==================================

So now would be a good time to check your prerotate scripts in the apache
logrotate file and see whats not working anymore and causing an error that
makes it stop running each day...
