lgo4j RollingFileAppender won't roll file

[driftn3]

Hi all,

I've got the file size set to 1000K, and when it exceeds this size it's
clears the file and starts over without creating a rollover file.

I'm Using log4j 1.2.9, jvm 1.4.1, running on WebLogic server 8.1 sp2.
Here's my log4j config file:

#Root logger
log4j.rootLogger = INFO, ROOT

#Custom Loggers
log4j.logger.com.bofa = INFO, APP
log4j.logger.com.bofa.additivity=false

# define Appenders
log4j.appender.ROOT=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender

log4j.appender.APP=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.APP.File=appslog/App.log

#define Layouts
log4j.appender.ROOT.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.ROOT.layout.conversionPattern=[%-5p][%d][%c]: %m%n
log4j.appender.APP.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.APP.layout.conversionPattern=[%-5p][%d][%c]: %m%n

# Set the max size of the file and the number of backup files
log4j.appender.APP.MaxFileSize=1000KB
log4j.appender.APP.MaxBackupIndex=3


Thnx in advance....

Hi Larry,

it seems as if I have the same problem.
I have a MaxBackupIndex of 20, and everything went fine up to know.
But since my last re-install of the application, my xx.log file is not
rolled (to xx.log.1), but simply disappears. (BTW, my previous log
files are beeing rolled correctly.)
I could not find the reason yet. I've already checked if the disk is
out of space, write permissions have changed, but all seems correct.
I'm using log4j 1.2.8, j2sdk 1.4.2_01, tomcat 5.0.16.

Could you please let me know if you find a solution?

Manfred.
