You need to restart apache to get it to start logging to a new file. Luckily, newsyslog can do this for you. With the default Apache install, Apache will log its PID to a file when it starts, just add this filename (/var/run/httpd.pid) to the end of each newsyslog entry that rotates an apache file, and newsyslog will automatically send a HUP signal to that PID when the log file is rotated See the man pages for newsyslog for more detailed info. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
