logrotate is your friend. A well configured logrotate will get around most of those problems. On 04/04/2016 06:01 PM, Stephen wrote:
I have Apache running on my system for web development with php.
Apache writes to an error.log file unique for the specific web site that I am working on.
During debugging the log file grows, and I like to clear it every now and then.
I had to change ownership of the file to me. I five read/write to everyone.
But when I truncate the file and save, Apache no longer writes to it. The Apache error logs do not indicate a problem.
I restart Apache and all is good again. But this is a nuisance.
Is there a way to avoid this nuisance?
Thanks
