Why do I have multiple access logs? For example www.gatherins.com.access.log and www.gatherins.com.access.log.1 were both updated today.

The access logs are rotated every day, so your old one becomes www.gatherins.com.access.log.1 and a new www.gatherins.com.access.log is created. If the rotation happens sometime after midnight (say, 3am), then it would be normal to have the former containing the stuff up to 3am and the other containing everything after then.

Or do you mean that both are currently being updated? That is, that it's not that the one without .1 starts where the one with .1 ends, but they both have updates from around the same time? If so, that would be very strange -- let me know if that's the case, and if I can take a look at them to try to debug.

Got it, thanks!

No problem!
