Summary: rotatelogs.exe seems not releasing old log files
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.2.6
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Core
AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
ReportedBy: kenji.kikuti@ctc-g.co.jp
For maintenance work, I would like to delete old error.log files, but I'm not
able to delete them from Windows command prompt. rotatelogs.exe seems not
releasing old log files.
How to reproduce;
1. Add following directive,
ErrorLog "| c:/apache2/bin/rotatelogs.exe c:/apache2/logs/%Y%m%d_error.log
86400"
2. Restart Apache and access non-existing pages from browser
3. Change Windows date
4. Access non-existing pages from browser
5. Delete the old error.log file like,
> del YYYYMMDD_error.log
6. The old file still exists
> ls
I'm able to delete them from Widows explore, but I would like to make a script
for maintenance work.

Until the parent process has fresh activity, yes it holds open it's last
used log. This is what you are observing.
" 3. Change Windows date "
isn't quite a legitimate testing methodology, as it has unexpected side effects.
An appropriate hack would be to have rotatelogs actually 'expire' its lock on
the current file once a timeup occurs (mapping it to the number of seconds until
the next valid file should be created). In fact this could avoid other side
effects. But I'd offer that's a subject for another bug report (patches welcome!)
