I just set up LogRotate on my RHEL6 server so that it rotates my custom Apache log files. However, it doesn't do anything when i try manually running it.

I expect it to rotate the log files "access.log" and "err.log". They have been there for a few days and need to be rotated.

Here is the output:

[root@pc1 httpd]# logrotate -d -f /etc/logrotate.d/apache
reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/apache
reading config info for /var/log/httpd/*log
/var/www/html/NSLogs/access.log
/var/www/html/NSErrorLogs/err.log


Handling 1 logs

rotating pattern: /var/log/httpd/*log
/var/www/html/NSLogs/access.log
/var/www/html/NSErrorLogs/err.log
 forced from command line (no old logs will be kept)
empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed
