Avoid Huge Logs on a (dv) Server

The default setup of a [(dv) server by Media Temple][1] has logs set up to rotate weekly and without compression. This can result in huge log files that eat server resources and—as I've learned first-hand—kill your server.

Fortunately, this is really easy to work around. All it takes is:

  • Root access to your server
  • (Very) basic knowledge of the command line
