      sudo du -h --max-depth=1 | sort -hr

      In /var/www/web/logs I have an access log that is 7.5GB. Can I purge that?

      Your logs should be cycling. Is this a log for a single day?

          I know the logs are set to cycle by most applications. No idea how your system was setup originally.

          But to answer your question, stop the webserver service apache stop I think for Debian.

          Delete the log

          Start the webserver again service apache start

          The apache process will recreate a new log.

            I'm downloading it now so I can go through it and verify that it isn't all one day. Can I delete it and create a new .log file and go on my way?

                It was not for a single day. It was from day 1 of the server life (25-Sept-2015)

                  Strange, is it doing it now. It should be on your cronjobs daily or weekly.

                    Meaning I should put it there or it should already be there?

                      @wls-itguy little over halfway down the page it mentions how lograte shouldbe happening.

                      https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-logging-and-log-rotation-in-apache-on-an-ubuntu-vps

                      Managing Log Rotation Using Logrotate

                      By default, Ubuntu sets up its own log rotation plan with logrotate.

                      This program can take parameters and rotate logs when certain criteria are met. We can see what events cause logrotate to swap the Apache logs by looking in /etc/logrotate.d/apache2:

                      sudo nano /etc/logrotate.d/apache2

                      Here, you can see some of the parameters given to logrotate. First of all, notice the first line is:

                      /var/log/apache2/*.log {

                      This means that logrotate will only operate on those logs in "/var/log/apache2". Keep this in mind if you have chosen a different directory for your logs in your Apache configuration.

                        It should be already be happening.
