    #CustomLog logs/access.log common
    and added folloowing parameters to it,
    CustomLog "|C:\IBM HTTP Server\bin\rotatelogs.exe -l C:\IBM HTTP Server\logs\access%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S.log 10" common

    and then i saved httpd.conf file and when restarting the IHS webserver i am getting the following error.


    C:\IBM HTTP Server\bin>Apache.exe -k start
    unable to start piped log program 'C:/IBM HTTP Server/bin/rotatelogs.exe -l C:/I

    HI Saravana

    you forgot mention the size in the form of Bytes. it should be 5M not 5. Please check below log formates , please use which are suitable for ur environment


    CustomLog "|/path/to/IHS/bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/logfile 86400" common



    This creates the files /var/logs/logfile.nnnn where nnnn is the system time at which the log nominally starts (this time will always be a multiple of the rotation time, so you can synchronize cron scripts with it). At the end of each rotation time (here after 24 hours) a new log is started.



    CustomLog "|/path/to/IHS/bin/rotatelogs -l /var/logs/logfile.%Y.%m.%d 86400" common



    This creates the files /var/logs/logfile.yyyy.mm.dd where yyyy is the year, mm is the month, and dd is the day of the month. Logging will switch to a new file every day at midnight, local time.



    CustomLog "|/path/to/IHS/bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/logfile 5M" common



    This configuration will rotate the logfile whenever it reaches a size of 5 megabytes.



    ErrorLog "|/path/to/IHS/bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/errorlog.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S 5M"

    THanks

    thank you adminappula for giving reply,
    i have changed the value in httpd.conf file and i have tired in both ways
    CustomLog "|C:\IBM HTTP Server\bin\rotatelogs.exe -l C:\IBM HTTP Server\logs\access%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S.log 3600" common 

    CustomLog "|C:\IBM HTTP Server\bin\rotatelogs.exe -l C:\IBM HTTP Server\logs\access.log %Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S 3600" common

    but when i restarting the webserver it showing following error:
    C:\IBM HTTP Server\bin>Apache.exe -k start

    unable to start piped log program 'C:\IBM HTTP Server\bin\rotatelogs.exe -l C:\I
    BM HTTP Server\logs\access%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S.log 3600': The system cannot find th
    e file specified.
    Unable to open logs

    i am suggesting you to see what the error message it is pointing out.
