files not rolling over.
Hi;
After running all weekend my files tomcat.log and windward.log did not roll
over. stdout did. Here is my properties:

I'm running under Tomcat - how do I set it for that?
And what does it write to?
Thanks - dave

If you don't have debug logging turned on I would try that first.
(Add -Dlog4j.debug to the command line.)

Make sure the account the webserver is running in has sufficient
privileges in x:\Tomcat 5.5\logs to rename files.

When it rolls it renames the current file and then starts writing to a
new current file. So the current file will always only have logs from
the current day (assuming there has been at least on log today).

RE: files not rolling over.
Posted by David Thielen <da...@windward.net>.
What seems to be happening is it is just deleteing it at midnight. All log
entries from Fri/Sat/Sun are gone. And it now has just today's entries.
And it looks like it may be starting at the beginning of the file to write
again - but did not clear the old file - it is overwriting it instead.
??? - thanks - dave

Rolling logs won't roll until the need to. If a log is generated
today than it should cause them to roll.
