Howdy, I don't have a solution to your problem, just a couple of points/questions. ;)
>The log4j1.2.8.jar file is in each webapp/WEB-INF/lib. >Each webapp has its own config file in webapp/WEB-INF/classes. Good. >Each config file contains: > >log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG >log4j.logger.dev=DEBUG, dev > >log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender >log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout >log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n > >log4j.appender.dev=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender >log4j.appender.dev.File=C:/logs/dev_01.log >log4j.appender.dev.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout >log4j.appender.dev.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %X{RemoteHost} %C %-5p %c >- %m%n >log4j.appender.dev.MaxFileSize=1000KB >log4j.appender.dev.MaxBackupIndex=100 Why define the stdout appender if you don't use it? Try removing it. I haven't used the straight rolling file appender much. I mostly use the DailyRollingFileAppender and haven't had a problem with it. Perhaps you could give this a shot (again, as you say you've done it in the past) and see what happens. >That way, I can get such a list of files as: >.log >.log.10 >.log.11 >.log.12 >.log.13 >.log.14 >.log.15 >.log.16 >.log.17 >.log.18 >.log.19 >.log.20 >.log.49 >.log.50 >.log.51 >.log.52 >.log.53 > >I simply don't have any idea about what is going on. I spend a lot of Add -Dlog4j.debug=true to your JAVA_OPTS when launching tomcats. Log4j will then output internal debugging information to $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out. Perhaps that will tell you something useful, especially when you see the output generated when log4j is rolling files over.
