How do I push the rotation of a log file.... other_vhosts_access.log is 1.6 GB right now.... the odd thing is that the date on the file is for today, the last rotated file is from 12-12 (a week ago) and is 816 MB...

Add a line in your logrotate.conf file (in the appropriate section) like this:

size 100M

Then run logrotate. It will force any logs over 100MB in size to be rotated.
