How do I make a cron job to erase access logs?
 

Every 3 weeks my database/tables crash because my access logs use-up all my space. They told me to create (my host) a cron job to erase my access logs every 2 weeks. So, how can I make one and install it?

I really have no knowledge of any of this.

Please assist me!

a cron job that you are refering to is specifically server-side.. not the "cron" that vBulletin is using..

you just need to prune threads and such is what it seems to me.. how big is your DB?

not large at all (60-90megs), but it fills in 700megs of space monthly with the access logs?

I guess since it's servr side that it reallly has ZERO to do with VB. Sorry!
If anyone can help please feel free to post or rather pm me.

thanks

ok.. those are your apache access-logs.. you can do a "man cron" as well as "man crontab" and read up on cron inside your server or just have a look here at this intro to cron at unixgeeks..
