I use this:

/var/log/httpd-access.log 644 3 100 * J /var/run/httpd.pid 30
/var/log/httpd-error.log  644 3 100 * J /var/run/httpd.pid 30

Signal 30 (SIGUSR1) causes Apache to do a graceful restart which is less
disruptive for anyone using the web site, but it can result in a few log
records being lost during the restart.  If you're going to be running a
busy website, then it's better to use rotatelogs(1) (comes with apache)
or cronolog(1) (in ports) to cycle the log files.  Neither of those
handles compressing or deleteing old log files, but a trivial cron job
will deal with that.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
