Re: Apache Server Log Rotation

[David Torrey <tj@xxxxxxx>]

Most files in http.conf are referenced relative to the server root.  So
if you're somewhere else and run the script, it can't find the file.
>From your prompt, I'd say you're in "/root", which means the script is
looking for log files in "/root/conf.d/bla/bla".

Try "cd /etc/httpd" then run the script.  Or, modify the

	push @files, $2;

to say

	push @files, "$server_root/$2";

I'm not a big fan of relative links, so I'd opt for the latter, but the
first way is faster to test.  Of course, I also prefer to list out the
logfiles for rotation explicitly instead of depending on the script to
paw through a configuration file... but that may just be the sysadmin in
me :)

Thanks,
Dave
