Problems with log rotate and virtual hosts
ok guys,

Im running Centos 4.6 Final
latest versions of apache, mysql etc etc

Basically, I have several websites on there and one of them is a busy forum and it generates big log files in not that long of a timeperiod.

I set it up about 8 months ago so that logrotate was rotating the logs of my virtual hosts and pruning them at a set size limit, then renaming them as it went along so they were log 1, log 2, log 3 and so on.

This was working great after quite a bit of testing and tweaking but I found out tonight that for some reason this has stopped working and one of the logs is now over 5GB!

I would delete it and start over but I need the information in it for awstats so thats not really an option. Which brings me to my next point!!

I installed Awstats maybe 3 months ago and got it working, but Im not sure if that is what has broken my logrotate script?

/etc/genstat.sh
endscript
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}
Now I know this DID work perfectly!!

but I would appreciate some help in the best way to trouble shoot the problem.

I have restarted Cron.d

and also forced logrotate to run, and go thits
