httpd-log in CERN server: newbie question

[Bob Long]

Miriam:

You have to remove the old log files first. I 'mv' mine to another directory.
If httpd doesn't find log files, it starts new ones. If it finds them it
just picks up where it left off.
        The easiest way to do this is to 'cron' the whole process so it is
performed on a regular schedule and you don't have to worry about it. I
don't know what flavor of Unix you are using, in either case it isn't real
difficult.

HTH,

Bob
