Setting apache error log file name to include current date

Question

I try to have apache create a new error log file every day based on the current date. The default error log file name looks something like this: ErrorLog "/logs/error.log"

and I want it to be something like: ErrorLog "/logs/error_$year$month$day.log"

Any ideas?

Answer 2

, logrotate apache apache , ..

, :

%...{format}t:  The time, in the form given by format, which should
                be in strftime(3) format. (potentially localized)

strftime (man 3 strftime):

%F or its equivalent without dashes %Y%m%d

:

# CustomLog with explicit format string
CustomLog my_log "%{%Y%m%d}t %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b"

% {% Y% m% d} t
