It is important to periodically rotate the log files by moving or deleting existing logs
on a moderately busy server. For this, the server must be restarted after the log files
are moved or deleted so that new log files are opened.

The server access log records all requests processed by the server. The location and
content of the access log is controlled by the

 directive. The LogFormat

directive can be used to simplify the selection of the contents of the logs.

The CustomLog directive is used to log requests to the server. A log format is
specified, and the logging can optionally be made conditional on request
characteristics using environment variables.
