Issue/Introduction
The document outlines how to control the location of the Access logs for the TIM httpd server and can these be cleaned up if they are occupying too much space.
We installed the TIM service in one of our production Linux servers. There are currently around 1.6G in Access log files in /var/log/httpd.
PROD[[email protected] httpd]$ ls -alh /var/log/httpd/

What are the steps to clean up these log files and to configure the log files to redirect to another directory.
