#718: Logrotate not configured correctly

---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Possibly a relic of old configurations most but not all vhosts on the
 projects vm (and likely all our other machines) use _log for their apache
 log file name.

 The problem is that in Debian based distros Logrotate is only configured
 to look for *.log. So we now have multi GB log files filling our machines
 that have not been rotated and compressed.

 On Projects I temporarily add *_log and have started a forced rotate
 (using nice -n 19).

 I would like feedback on if we should just add that configuration to all
 the machines or if we should clean out _log and replace with .log in the
 vhost files (and rename the existings logs).

 I'm not going to touch the awstats ticket until we resolve this.
