Support for Apache 2 Windows rotatelogs

Question

I am trying to use rotatelogs.exe on windows server 2k to rotate access.log. But whenever I restart apache, it gets an error while reading http.conf

Here is the line:

CustomLog "|D:\Apache2\Apache2\bin\rotatelogs.exe D:\Apache2\Apache2\logs\access.log 86400" common

I do not know why it does not work. The paths are correct, the general format of the log is defined. Am I somewhere not my syntax?

Answer 1

Try using slashes (/) instead of backslashes (\).

Answer 2

Another approach would be to use HalRotateLogs.exe (from Halcyon Logic).
