I tried that as well, but that did not take effect.   However, we did 
get the following response from this morning's /etc/cron.daily:

/etc/cron.daily/00webalizer:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

error: error running shared prerotate script for /var/log/httpd/access_log
error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/httpd/access_log
error: error running prerotate script, leaving old log in place
error: error running prerotate script, leaving old log in place
error: error running prerotate script, leaving old log in place

Obviously this means there are problems with the prerotate scripts, so I 
guess I will have to track down and see if they display error messages 
when running manually.
