Turn off logfile rotation

Hi, I recently set up an apache webserver. I noticed that fairly
regularly (every two days or so) all of my apache logs (error_log,
access_log, etc) get renamed to error_log.1, access_log.1, etc. I
never enabled this feature as far as I know, and I'd really like to
turn it off. It's not renaming the files because they're too large, in
fact they were quite small (less than 3KB), so I find this behavior
annoying. I wouldn't mind file rotation if the files got to 100 MB or
so, but no sooner. Can someone shed some light on changing this file
rotation feature?

I'm on RH 9.0. I added the following line to /etc/logrotate.d/httpd:

/var/log/httpd/*log {
missingok
notifempty
size=100M # this is my new line
sharedscripts
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2>
/dev/null || true
endscript
}

However, I don't see what rule it was following previously to trigger
the rotation. There is the line "weekly" in my /etc/logrotate.conf, so
perhaps that was triggering it. Will the size=100M directive override
weekly rotation? (Which gets priority time or size?)

Default value.

Not sure, the man page doesn't say. I suspect it will just override
the default value.
