<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Hullo, I have a server hosting five or so websites. <br />
<br />
Each site logs to it's own log files. <br />
<br />
I have created a custom log to record traffic types.<br />
<br />
Four of the five sites are logging traffic without difficulty. One isn't.<br />
<br />
Is there a method whereby I can &quot;invalidate&quot; all the log files, delete them and &quot;force&quot; Apache to create new log files? <br />
<br />
I'm wondering if my moving the files around between servers (from dev to live) has caused problems, as I've created text files and name them access.log....<br />
<br />
It's not massively urgent, but something I'd like to have as a sort of script that could run every 30 days or so. <br />
<br />
Many thanks,<br />
Nick
