I didn't get logrotating working in Apache so I made it possible by shutting down apache and rotate the logs and putting apache back on. See my script below that is used in crontab.

Script:

#!/bin/sh
apachectl stop >/dev/null 2>&1
newsyslog -F -f /etc/newsyslog.apache.conf
sleep 4
apachectl startssl >/dev/null 2>&1

Crontab, once a month:
