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
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root         0 Dec  5 03:23 ssl_error_log
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root         0 Dec  5 03:23 ssl_access_log

-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root         0 Dec  5 03:23 access_log
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root      5274 Dec  5 04:19 ssl_error_log-20181205

-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 514548359 Dec  5 06:13 rewrite.log-20181205
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root      6080 Dec  5 06:13 jk-runtime-status.5767
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root   7457352 Dec  5 06:13 mod_jk.log-20181205
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root  57777013 Dec  5 06:13 access_log-20181205

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)
