The ErrorLog directive shown in the post is the actual parameter. Check your httpd.conf and you'll see an ErrorLog directive. Replace it with something like what I've shown above if you'd like.

Oracle's settings are sometimes weird. Everyone I know that uses Oracle has changed the settings. No one works with default. Not even the beginners.

For the server.log file from the OC4J, you would have to use ODL to do that. You'll find several notes on Metalink describing how to set up log rotation for OC4J and a few specially on using ODL (Oracle Diagnostic Logging) with OC4J as well. If you're thinking of a different server.log, then you'll have to clarify.

I haven't done a vanilla Apache install for quite a long time--the last time I did an Apache installation, rotatelogs wasn't used in the default configuration. Probably showing my age now :)

Thanks for stopping by!

I agree with our comment about the poor defaults and I like your prefered settings but you've attributed the defaults to the wrong source. I have a non-Oracle Apache installation and it has the same settings. My guess would be those are the Apache installation defaults and Oracle just never changed them.
