Synchronise IHS server logs with the System Date

Some Web servers do log file rotation, where the Web server creates a new log file after a specified period without restarting. New file names are autogenerated so they don't clash with existing files. On most systems, Web servers generate new log files every 24 hours. With a log file rotation, you can adopt an archiving
system, such as putting the log files on tape once a week, then freeing up space on the Web server.

Provide one more Parameter with the TIMEFACTOR and that is offset in our case this is 330 as our TimeZone is GMT +5:30 and OFFSET time
calculation is like 5*60 = 300 and plus 30 for the 5:30 this will rotate exactly at the system date changeover.

all this is depends upon the TIME ZONE used by the servers, in the above case i have calculated it as standard time zone for india it is GMT +5:30 and accordingly our IBM Http Server needs to be configured for loggings, virtual host directives must be modified for this its mentioned below.

<VirtualHost www.MyTestSite.com>
DocumentRoot "D:\IHS\htdocs\MyTestSite"
ServerName www.MyTestSite.com
ErrorLog "|rotatelogs logs/site_1/error_%d%m%Y.log 86400 330"
CustomLog "|rotatelogs logs/site_1/access_%d%m%Y.log 86400 330" combined
</VirtualHost>

IHS Server operations

Some IHS Server operations are listed here i know it is not difficult to manage with help utility but for easy reference its given here.

Start/Stop your server thro' the command lne params.
apache -k start -f "D:\IBM\IBM HTTP Server\conf\httpd.conf"
apache -k stop -f "D:\IBM\IBM HTTP Server\conf\httpd.conf"

This will install the Apache services  as windows nt service
apache -k install -n "IHS_1" -f "D:\IBM\IBM HTTP Server\conf\httpd.conf"
apache -k install -n "IHS_2" -f "D:\IBM\IBM HTTP Server\conf\httpd2.conf"

Note: Provide different log file names and different PID files to run both the servers simultaneously on to a single windows server.
