Bug with logfiles rotation using Cobalt Raq4?

I have a big problem with the website logfile on my Raq4 server. I never changed anything about the configuration, so I supposed the following behaviour is the defautl one:
1)The "logfile rotation" is done during the night at about 4 AM 2) under every website i can find a "logs" directory where compressed logfile is stored. 3) everyday a "web.log.1.gz" is generated 4) in all website/logs directory the compressed file's name is "web.log.1.gz"

My problem is that the web.1.gz file is containing ONLY the data of the day before and as there is only ONE web.log.1.gz file, everyday the web.log.1.gz file is replaced by the new one... very bad.

What can I do in order to get into my logfile a longer period (let say 1 week or 1 month) or to get the logfiles archived under another name everyday?

Finally, as I only discover the "problem" today, do I have a way to get back the complete access information, in other word, is there somewhere on the server a full logfile?

in fact there is no bug at all. It was just a missunderstanding about the way logfiles are handled on this platform.
