newsyslog and apache

[DA Forsyth]

I used to have one big apache log file, but decided to rotate it once 
a month using newsyslog.

However, now apache stops and does not restart when the log is 
rotated.

line from newsyslog.conf
/var/log/apache/httpd-access.log        640 13     *    $M1D8 B       
  /var/run/httpd.pid 30

with a similar one for the error log.

I have to manually start apache after this rotates the log.

I alos see that 'apachectl restart' stops apache but it doesn't 
restart.

any ideas?
