[Xitami] Rotate Logs

[xitami@lists.xitami.org]

Hi,

I am using Xitami Pro 2.4d10 on NT4.0.
I've had some problems with the log files not being 
renamed (permission denied), so they were no rotated at all; I had 
to play with the logs configurations, basically I've just changed 
them and now it is working fine. I understand that this is not 
*exactly* your problem since rotation works to some extent. 

My take on this was that the configuration files for the Pro version 
were "inherited" from 2.4d7 (whose help files were in the 
distribution package) hence not updated in some sections (e.g. 
there was no log directory entry, maybe other things). Playing with 
the web admin tool might have put the missing entries back in, I 
guess..

Please note that the website that I am running is only for research 
and is not receiving a lot of hits.
