rotatelog on win32

[allan juul <al...@muly.dk>]

hello

i have run into a strange problem on windows mod_perl2 RC6 using 
rotaleog.exe

i have this in httpd.conf

CustomLog "|D:/rotatelogs.exe \
d:/logs/apache2/http/apache.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S 86400" combined



if i don't load mod_perl there are never a problem.

if i load mod_perl, i can (sometimes) start apache *once* but never 
restart without hand-killing the apache.exe and rotaleog.exe via Windows 
TaskManager

httpd.conf:
LoadFile "C:/Perl/bin/perl58.dll"
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so


if i don't use rotation there are no starting problems


anyone experiences and/or fixes for this behavior ?
./allan

thx, [i can't see that URL], but my problem is that it's only happeninh 
when enabling mod_perl - without mod_perl, there's no problem

i don't known you apache version, butin apache 2.052 change log, they say:


http://httpd.apache.org/dev/dist/httpd-2.0.52-rc1/CHANGES
Changes with Apache 2.0.51

*) Win32: apache -k start|restart|install|config can leave stranded

   piped logger processes (eg, rotatelogs.exe) due to improper
   server shutdown on these code paths.
