DailyRollingFileAppender does not create backup file

[Schmied Alexander <Al...@systema.info>]

i'm using Log4j with DailyRollingFileAppender and for testing i've
configured the appender to roll every minute. the problem is, that the
debug-output of Log4j logs that the file will be renamed and no error
occured, but there are no backup files in the directory. Here the
debug-output of Log4j:

log4j: c:/log/rel33/Log4j/test.log ->
c:/log/rel33/Log4j/test.log.2002-09-03-08-49
log4j: setFile called: c:/log/rel33/Log4j/test.log, false
log4j: setFile ended

The file test.log exists in the directory and is empty after every minute
but the file test.log.2002-09-03-08-49 is never created. What can be the
problem here?

Thanks, Alex.

Well, I'm glad to see that someone else is having the same problem I am.
Though I have my DailyRollingFileAppender set to backup once a day and it's
running under Tomcat. Sometimes it'll work for a few days and then just stop
rolling the logs. I can't figure it out. Let me know if you figure out
what's causing the problem.
