I find the default log rolling behaviour of Apache to be really annoying, and I always install cronolog.

http://www.cronolog.org

It lets you do things like this:

ErrorLog "|/opt/local/sbin/cronolog /Volumes/Web/logs/sitea/%Y/%Y-%m- sitea_error_log"
CustomLog "|/opt/local/sbin/cronolog /Volumes/Web/logs/sitea/%Y/%Y-%m- sitea_access_log" combined

so you then get logs that are in folders by year and named by year and month.

I find this works really well combined with awstats, which I prefer to Webalizer, as you can tell awstats to look for logs with a similar (but different) syntax.

LogFile="/Volumes/Web/logs/sitea/%YYYY-2/%YYYY-2-%MM-2-sitea_access_log"

The "-2" bits for awstats represent that date two hours ago, so it happily copes with situations where your log is rolling over to a new month.
