We are trying to cut back some space on our linux-based server and noticed that within ./tmp there is a file called rewrite.log that is 41G. I’m not entirely sure if I can delete this file, or how/if I can downsize it.
Thank you,
Brandon

This is a log file created by the Apache HTTPD server. mod_rewrite is what is creating it. You could safely delete it, or just change the LogLevel in your httpd.conf so that it does not output as much info. If I were you, I would 1) stop the HTTPD server, 2) delete the log file, 3) edit the httpd.conf file and set
LogLeveltowarnand 4) start the HTTPD server. Hope this helps.
