The only thing I can think of for this to happen is that log files are being auto-deleted. Is this something that Apache does? And if so, is there a way to stop it? These numbers are important to our clients. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Tue Jul 28 12:43:10 PDT 1998 State-Changed-Why: No, Apache does no such things. If you are using Red Hat's RPM, however, it does many things, one of which may well be rotating the log files. You need to check with them to see how this is done and how you can stop it.
