Lighttpd: What are these multiple log files?

Question

I went into the log folder of my lighttpd server and I found several files:

access.log access.log.4.gz error.log error.log.2.gz access.log.1 deluxeorganics
error.log.1

I was wondering if the server is creating log.1 log.2 files (and compressing them) to store the log history in separate files.

thanks

This looks to me like your log files are being rotated and compressed by logrotate.

@Patrick: You can search for logrotate config file something like: /etc/logrotate.d/lighttpd – Khaled Nov 29 '10 at 13:30
