error_log-20120614.bz2 (apache2 error logs)

[richardroi]

Hello support,

Kindly give some information about this error log on apache2. How can i open it so i can see whats wrong. I already checked my timezone. I can see these errors starting the day i put the server on production, and I'm afraid it is consuming lots of space on my hard drive. And when this bz2 ran it consumes 95% of cpu.

How can I correct this?

Thank you.

you can do that with:
bzcat error_log-20120614.bz2 | less
pipe to less to be able to use page up and down and so on
and the one that is not compressed:
cat error_log | less
I guess it will use a lot of cpu-power when it runs, but it will probably not run for very long

Thanks Domedan.

Can I erase this errors.bz2? How?
I edited my timezone, maybe it will not show up again.
Still monitoring.

Sure, just do:
rm error_log-20120614.bz2

logrotate will remove them automatically depending your settings
I got "maxage 365" in: /etc/logrotate.d/apache2
so they will be removed when 365 days old
