Apache log rotate configuration
HI

i was trying to configure logrotate for my apache server and it's not working properly.

Os: Red Hat 6


here is my lodrotate configuration

Code:
/var/log/httpd/*log {
    daily
    missingok
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    compress
    delaycompress
    postrotate
        /sbin/service httpd reload > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true
    endscript
}

And here is the logs directory

Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root         1 Dec  4 09:10 jk-runtime-status.5767.lock
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root         0 Dec  5 03:23 ssl_request_log

as you can see log is rotated with date ext but apache is still writing logs to rotated file no to new files(new files size is 0 bytes)

LEARN ABOUT REDHAT

apachectl

apachectl(1)						      General Commands Manual						      apachectl(1)

NAME

       apachectl - Apache HTTP server control interface

SYNOPSIS

       apachectl command [...]

DESCRIPTION

       apachectl  is  a  front	end to the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server.  It is designed to help the administrator control the
       functioning of the Apache httpd daemon.

       NOTE: If your Apache installation uses non-standard paths, you will need to edit the apachectl script to set the appropriate paths to  your
       PID file and your httpd binary.	See the comments in the script for details.

       The apachectl script returns a 0 exit value on success, and >0 if an error occurs.  For more details, view the comments in the script.

       Full documentation for Apache is available at http://httpd.apache.org/

OPTIONS

       The command can be any one or more of the following options:

       start	   Start the Apache daemon.  Gives an error if it is already running.

       stop	   Stops the Apache daemon.

       restart	   Restarts  the  Apache  daemon by sending it a SIGHUP.  If the daemon is not running, it is started.	This command automatically
		   checks the configuration files via configtest before initiating the restart to make sure Apache doesn't die.

       fullstatus  Displays a full status report from mod_status.  For this to work, you need to have mod_status enabled  on  your  server  and  a
		   text-based  browser	such as lynx available on your system.	The URL used to access the status report can be set by editing the
		   STATUSURL variable in the script.

       status	   Displays a brief status report.  Similar to the fullstatus option, except that the list of requests currently being	served	is
		   omitted.

       graceful    Gracefully restarts the Apache daemon by sending it a SIGUSR1.  If the daemon is not running, it is started.  This differs from
		   a normal restart in that currently open connections are not aborted.  A side effect is that old log files will  not	be  closed
		   immediately.  This means that if used in a log rotation script, a substantial delay may be necessary to ensure that the old log
		   files are closed before processing them.  This command automatically checks the configuration files via configtest before  ini-
		   tiating  the restart to make sure Apache doesn't die.  On certain platforms that do not allow SIGUSR1 to be used for a graceful
		   restart, an alternative signal may be used (such as SIGWINCH).  graceful will send the right signal for your platform.

       configtest  Run a configuration file syntax test. It parses the configuration files and either reports Syntax Ok  or  detailed  information
		   about the particular syntax error.

       help	   Displays a short help message.
