Apache limits the size of error. log files

Step 1: stop all processes of the Apache service and delete the error. log and access. log files in the Apache2/logs/directory.
 

Step 2: Open the httpd. conf configuration file of Apache and find the following two configurations.

 

The code is as follows:	Copy code
ErrorLog logs/error. log CustomLog logs/access. log common

 

Directly Comment out and replace it with the following configuration file.

The code is as follows:

Copy code

# Restrict the error log file to 1 MB ErrorLog "| bin/rotatelogs.exe-l logs/error-% Y-% m-% d. log 1M"   # Generate an error log file every day # ErrorLog "| bin/rotatelogs.exe-l logs/error-% Y-% m-% d. log 86400 & Prime;   # Restrict access log files to 1 MB CustomLog "| bin/rotatelogs.exe-l logs/access-% Y-% m-% d. log 1M 1M" common # Generate an access log file every day # CustomLog "| bin/rotatelogs.exe-l logs/access-% Y-% m-% d. log 86400 & Prime; common

The above are all generated to the apache installation directory. If you cannot install it on the C drive, we can

Change it

The code is as follows:	Copy code
ErrorLog "| c:/apache/bin/rotatelogs.exe x:/d/logs/error _ % Y _ % m _ % d. log 86400 480" CustomLog "| c:/apache/bin/rotatelogs.exe x:/d/logs/access _ % Y _ % m _ % d. log 86400 480" common

Here, c:/apache/is the log directory behind your apache installation path. We can set it by ourselves. To clear the log, I also need to stop apache and delete it.

Supplement: apache log processing method in linux

The code is as follows:	Copy code
# Ls-alh Total usage 2.9 M Drwxr-xr-x 2 root 4.0 K March 21 10:46. Drwxr-xr-x 15 root 4.0 K .. -Rw-r-1 root 907 K March 27 17:24 access_log -Rw-r-1 root 31 K March 27 17:23 error_log -Rw-r-1 root 6 March 21 11:03 httpd. pid -Rw-r-1 root 29 K March 21 11:03 jk-runtime-status -Rw-r-1 root 1 March 21 11:03 jk-runtime-status.lock -Rw-r-1 root 465 K March 27 17:24 mod_jk.log

Log description: access_log, error_log, mod_jk.log
These three logs are common,
And these logs are very large.

Access_log Apache access log
Error_log error log file
Mod_jk tomcat's apache extension module (tomcat-connectors) supports AJP 12/13, JNI, and Loadblance.

Log clearing command:

The code is as follows:	Copy code
# Cat/dev/null> access_log # Cat/dev/null> error_log # Cat/dev/null> mod_jk.log

You can write the preceding three commands as a shell script and then add them to the crontab to clear them once a day. Of course, you can back up and clear them first.
