RollingFileAppender just overwrites the same file

[Ia...@barclayscapital.com]

Hi all,

Newbie question, I appreciate any advice.

Below is my log4net config, copied from
http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/config-examples.html#rollingfi
leappender

It is restarting the file each day - but it's overwriting it.
I was expecting it to rename the old one to logfile-20060209 or
something.

log4net 1.2.9 beta, debug .net framework 1.1 build.

Cheers
Iain Shepherd
