I’m trying to rotate access_log file in IHS server (httpd.conf) and it is not working.

I’m using below syntax (IHS server is in Linux).

<o:p> </o:p>

CustomLog "/opt/IBM/HTTPServer/bin/rotatelogs /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/logs/access_log 86400" common <o:p> </o:p>

Error message:

[error] (2)No such file or directory: could not open transfer log file /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/bin/rotatelogs /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/logs/access_log 86400.

Unable to open logs <o:p> </o:p>

Note: I’ve full control to log directory and I’m as root.

Can anyone help?

What I would check: do both  /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/bin/rotatelogs and /opt/IBM/HTTPSever/logs/access_log exist and is the rotatelogs executable.

e.g.: [ this is an older version of IHS, so different path ]

$ ls -l /usr/IBM/HTTPServer1/bin/rotatelogs
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     system       180629 May 30 2017  /usr/IBM/HTTPServer1/bin/rotatelogs

Also, this article  shows that a pipe symbol (|) should be the 1st character in the CustomLog value

Thanks Kevin,

The below command worked for me.
CustomLog "|/opt/IBM/HTTPServer/bin/rotatelogs /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/logs/access.log.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S 86400" common
