I just joined the list so I missed the original post.
Is this about Log4J not rolling over files properly with the
RollingFileAppender?
We ended up writing a modified version because for some reason it held locks
and wouldn't 'rollover' properly, so we lost the log files.
Let me know if this is what you are experiencing and I'll dig out the code.
Also, what operating system are you running on?
Regards,
Tim.

Howdy,
I don't have a solution to your problem, just a couple of
points/questions. ;)

Good.

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.

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.
