Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Apache log rotate configuration Post 303026949 by Peasant on Wednesday 5th of December 2018 11:26:39 AM

I do not see a problem with editing http configuration files to change way logging is done to suit your needs.

Whatever you do, a reload is not a restart, so apache will keep the log file(s) open and write to those files.
This is if you use logrotate to rotate those logs without apache restart or copytruncate option.

Take a look at this, but you will need to change the httpd.conf..

NAME
apacheconf - Apache configuration utility SYNTAX
apacheconf DESCRIPTION
This is a new graphical tool to configure the common web server Apache in an easy and simple way. It supports the basic configuration options and even allows to set up multiple virtual hosts. OPTIONS
None FILES
/usr/bin/apacheconf /usr/share/apacheconf/* /etc/alchemist/switchboard/apache.switchboard.adl /etc/alchemist/namespace/apache/local.adl /etc/alchemist/namespace/apache/rpm.adl /var/cache/alchemist/apache/* EXAMPLES
To run this program simply type: apacheconf SEE ALSO
httpd(8) BUGS
Not all possible checks for correct values are done yet. The current /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file is NOT parsed, so changing the configuration with apacheconf will overwrite any manual changes to the httpd.conf file or the changes done with apacheconf are discarded. In case of overwriting the manually editied file a backup file will be generated. AUTHORS
