So my question is for how to rotate it (esp. since it should be owned by "apache" user) - what do you guys use?
the standard logrotate config /etc/logrotate.d/httpd or a modified copy of it
since the rotation moves the old log and then reloads Apache, you don't have to worry about the ownership issue
yes, I'm aware of that file and have modified the docs path in it because I have several vhosts too...
Here is my current /etc/logrotate.d/httpd file:
/var/log/httpd/my_vhost_1/*log { missingok notifempty sharedscripts delaycompress postrotate /sbin/service httpd reload > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true endscript }
But my problem is I don't know how to do it best - i.e. where to put the PHP log file /var/log/php/php_errors.log in the directives above and also how to rotate the logs for all vhosts I have (I currently rotate just for one - the "my_vhost_1" as you can see above)

Create a different file under /etc/logrotate.d (perhaps name it "phplog", doesn't really mater though) and add the appropriate configuration options. I used this website to help me with the necessary options (though the man page is more than sufficient as well): http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/07/logrotate-examples/
Here is a custom logrotate conf I created for my catalina logs:
[root@390405-web1 images]# cat /etc/logrotate.d/tomcat /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.34/logs/catalina.out { daily copytruncate delaycompress missingok postrotate /root/bin/catlog_mv.sh endscript }
If you were wanting to rotate according to the size of the file (perhaps 512MB, whatever works for you though) owned by apache, you might create a file under /etc/logrotate.d/ containing something like the following:
/var/log/php/php_errors.log { size 512MB create 644 apache apache missingok compress }
There's all kinds of other options you can add as well. Read the article I linked earlier and/or the man page, it's really pretty trivial. Good luck :)
