Is this the proper format below?

}

"/var/log/httpd/access_log" /var/log/httpd/access_log {
           rotate 1
           size=50M
           sharedscripts
           postrotate
           /sbin/killall -HUP httpd
           endscript
}

"/var/log/httpd/error_log" /var/log/httpd/error_log {
           rotate 1
           size=50M
           sharedscripts
           postrotate
           /sbin/killall -HUP httpd
           endscript
}
