This did the trick! I also used /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd restart,
as suggested by Helmut Hullen and Robert Komar.

One last doubt. Looking at the output of
$ logrotate -v
it appears that the postrotate script is executed 3 times, after
each log's rotation. wouldn't it be better to execute it only once?

not really. think about it, once per log is exactly what you want.

btw, you can use 'logrotate -dv' to see what logrotate would do, ie. a
dry-run.
