[webmin-l] Apache, Awstats, and Log rotation

[Joaquim H. <jo...@we...>]

How do I set-up log rotation for an Apache (virtual) server and its log files, and at the same time make sure Awstats have updated/or will update its statistics by parsing the "rotated" (and preferrably archived) set of log files?

One solution would be to add a call to run awstats for the log to the 
pre-rotation script of the log's logrotate configuration..

Mmm.. true; except the configuration gets a little bit spread out if I do t=
hat. Log rotation in one place, awstats in another, and the Apache configur=
ation in a third..

The way I ended up doing it for now is to use:

CustomLog "|/usr/local/apache/bin/rotatelogs /sites/mydomain.com/logs/acces=
s_%Y%m%d 86400" combined

And then set the awstats configuration file to process "today minus one day=
"'s log at 06:00.

This is *not* neat, *nor* cool, but it may work. One side effect is that I =
don't get the rotated log file to compress automatically, but a quick shell=
 script to compress all access_YYYYMMDD that are not today should solve tha=
t.
