Proper way to change the rotation of apache logs?

I would like to adjust the amount of space each apache log can take  
up and how many copies are saved. According to RH in this kbase article
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_35_2798.shtm

I want to edit the logrotate.conf file. They even have a listing in  
the article for an httpd log file.

------------------------------------------
       "/var/log/httpd/access.log" /var/log/httpd/error.log {
           rotate 5
           mail www at my.org
           size=100k
           sharedscripts
           postrotate
                                     /sbin/killall -HUP httpd
           endscript
}
------------------------------------------

Is the first line a typo? It makes reference to two different files.  
Also the log files in /var/log/httpd/ have an underscore between the  
name and log like access_log., error_log.
