Hi all,

Is it possible to configure Apache to remove old log files after it rotates them
to another filename?

Apache won't do this - you need a shell script for the job.

I'm not sure, if it is possible with apache, but I wrote a small
shellscript, that ist run daily (e.g. at 2 o'clock in the morning) by cron
as user root:

cd /usr/local/apache/logs
size=100;
size1=`du -a access_log | cut -f1`;
if [ $size1 -gt $size ]; then
        mv access_log access_log.old;
        mv error_log error_log.old;
        kill -USR1 `cat httpd.pid`;
fi

With this script, it is tested, if the logfile access_log has reached a
certain size (100 blocks). If yes it is moved to access_log.old, as well as
error_log. So this is a kind of rotation and you always have access to older
files.
