access.log,件在 WEB 服务器运行一段时间之后会达到几十兆甚至上百兆,如果Apache运行有错误,error.log也会增大到几十兆,我们知道系统读写一个大的文本文件是非常耗内存的,因此限定日志文件大小十分必要。

通常我们是在{$apache}/conf/httpd.conf中设置Apache的参数,然而我们并没有发现可以设置日志文件大小的配置指令,通过参考http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/rotatelogs.html,可以用apache 自己的程序 rotatelogs.exe(位于 {$apache}/bin/目录下),来限制日志文件的大小。

Usage: rotatelogs [-l] [offset minutes from UTC] or

Add this:
TransferLog “|rotatelogs /some/where 86400”  
or
TransferLog “|rotatelogs /some/where 5M”
to httpd.conf. The generated name will be /some/where.nnnn where nnnn is the system time at which the log nominally starts (N.B. if using a rotation time, the time will always be a multiple of the rotation time, so you can synchronizecron scripts with it). At the end of each rotation time or when the file size is reached a new log is started.

在 Windows 下的设置例子如下: Continue reading »
