Hi,

Every time my httpd-access.log file is rotated I need to restart Apache, 
otherwise it won't write into the new httpd-access.log file.

Is there a way for Apache (version 2.0.55 on FreeBSD 6.0) to write to the 
new log file without the need to restart it? I restart it routinely from a 
cron job, but occasionally Apache fails to restart (or more precisely, if 
fails to shutdown completely before it is told to come up again).

Thank you very much for your help.
