Note to other admins. When naming your apache logs in your vhost config
if you do not end the name .log it will not get rotated.

/etc/logrotate.d/apache2
Specifically looks for /var/log/apache/*.log

So _log not a good idea. I've changed the config on download to use .log
renamed the old files and I'm currently running logrotate to compress
the 3 GB access log and 1.5 GB error logs that built up.

Thanks,
Alex
