Hi,

logrotate rotates /var/log/httpd/access_log and
/var/log/httpd/ssl_request_log. Everithing works fine for
access_log, but apache goes on writing on the old ssl_request_log,
now renamed with ".1". The new ssl_request_log remains empty.

This is /etc/logrotate.d/httpd:

/var/log/httpd/*_log {
postrotate
/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd graceful-stop
/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd start
endscript
}

Any idea? TIA

Sure! Add this line in there somewhere: rotate 5

At a terminal, type man logrotate.

HTH.

I already have
rotate 4
in /etc/logrotate.conf, and have 4 rotated files for each and every
log except /var/log/httpd/ssl_request_log.

Done before bothering the newsgroup. Doesn't explain the different
behavior of /var log/httpd/access_log and
/var/log/httpd/ssl_request_log.

Thanks

Could it be apache's fault? After all, logrotate does rotate
ssl_request_log and create a new empty file. It's apache that after
the rotation starts logging on ssl_request_log.1 leaving the new
file empty.

Just stop and restart the apache. Maybe apache wasn't told clearly that
"logrotate" should have done more than only renaming the logging target.
