Help!....lol!
Ok you Apache Gurus......My access log for apache is sitting at 21
megs...How the heck do I delete it?????!!!!
It has a shared violation message when I try to and if I go to win2k task
manager it won't let me shut apache down to delete the file.
I reckon I have a dilemma here:)
Any help greatly appreciated:)

Start your pc in safe mode (f8 before it starts 2 load windows but after 1st
bios screen)

Run in safe mode and that'll stop all programs starting...delete the log and
then restart.

Look for "log rotation" and "piped logs" there

Especially this "rotatelogs" program should be
your friend :

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/programs/rotatelogs.html

"log rotation" describes how to delete it without
restarting the PC

Stop Apache, deal with the file, start Apache. This might not work on NTFS,
due to issues with the filesystem.
