Neither do I, and I am also not familiar with the configuration of
logrotate. However until a better reply is given, I will make a guess,
based on the message
"error: apache:1 { expected after log file name".
My guess is that the problem lies in the 1st line of the apache file,
and that the new line between the 2nd and the 3rd file names prevents
logrotate from seeing the '{' character that appears after the 3rd file
name. Note that I assumed that indeed there is there a '\n'. In any case
one way to test my hypothesis is to have there only one file name and
see what happens.
Actually, isn't {RH,Debian} whatever you are using didn't install the
file from the distributed package?
