One of the easiest things to do to save disk space (and our costs, and ultimately, yours) is to be sure to rotate apache logs. This is very simple to do in Apache and our OpenSolaris VPS servers.
Just yesterday, we had one customer that was had GB of log data:
root@wolf:/home# du -sh */logs/* 56K administracionalta/logs/access_log 898K administracionalta/logs/error_log 0K ascensoresfamtech/logs/access_log 47K ascensoresfamtech/logs/error_log 0K gusonline/logs/access_log 0K gusonline/logs/error_log 898K pintoporcelana/logs/access_log 11K pintoporcelana/logs/access_log.1270252800 3.3M pintoporcelana/logs/error_log 5.0M radiosentidos/logs/access_log 115K radiosentidos/logs/access_log.1270252800 14G radiosentidos/logs/error_log 0K sanceferinoweb/logs/access_log 1.4M sanceferinoweb/logs/error_log 0K teinvito/logs/access_log 69K teinvito/logs/error_log 0K teinvitotv/logs/access_log 0K teinvitotv/logs/error_log root@wolf:/home#
We changed httpd.conf file for the CustomLog definition to look like:
CustomLog "|/usr/bin/rotatelogs /var/apache2/2.2/logs/access_log 86400" common
Restart apache, and that should do it! That was simple right? Now, next time use something better than Apache if possible. :)
