how to rotate access logs in apache

[shantec]

i'm trying to rotate my access logs, so that i have it parsed by date, as a different file, each day.

i have written this in my httpd.conf, by altering this line, but didn't work.


TransferLog /path/to/logs/access.log
#TransferLog "|rotatelogs/path/to/logs/access.log 86400"

and what is a good opensource apache web log analysis program other than webalizer?also customizable

i would certainly appreciate your help,

Ok looks like 1)you missed the space from between rotatelogs and the path statement and 2) you have the entry hashed (#) out ? .....

Try:
TransferLog "| rotatelogs /path/to/logs/access.log 86400"

As for Stats, I find AWStats realy impressive (managers love the look) and it works realy cool to.

Its a bit of a pig to configure (well not realy if you follow instructions), but you do need to be running perl

Find it on sourceforge:
