Depends what is writing the file. If you remove the file, you might want to reload apache to make sure that it continues to write to that location. Otherwise, apache might stop logging cause its logfile handle is no longer valid and returns errors. However, if it is a logging facility that is writing to the file, then it may be more capable of gracefully handling deleted log files. It is recommended that you clobber the files instead.

cat > file.log
Control+C

cat > file2.log
Control+C

etc.
