Apache and backing up access log

I’ve search the www and at last i found a tool to rotate my Apache access.log and error.log
I use
Cronolog from http://cronolog.org/ , it is a free tool to use and easy to setup.

This cronolog is tested and run on Windows

• download the installer from http://cronolog.org/download/cronolog-1.6.1-win32.zip
• extract it to somewhere , mine is C:/cronolog/ and you can find
  • cronolog.exe
  • other stuffs
• Go to your Apache conf httpd.conf and find your access logfile , you will see CustomLog C:/apache/logs/access.log common
• Turn off the line and add this line TransferLog “|C:/cronolog/cronlog.exe C:/apache/logs/access.%Y%m%d.log”
• Restart apache and your new access.log file will be created with access.20090709.log
• Next step, you can backup your access log for old logs.
