Harshad Savant created LOGCXX-501:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Sometimes the log files get locked and then deleted after
application restart
Key: LOGCXX-501
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-501
Project: Log4cxx
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.10.0
Reporter: Harshad Savant
We are using log4cxx version 0.10.0 in one of our projects which runs on
windows 7 & 10.
We have several different log files and use a RollingFileAppender to back-up
files based on size.
We found that on some rare occasions, suddenly all the log files created by
log4cxx get locked and can not be opened by any external editors like notepad
or notepad++. You can't copy the files or delete them and windows gives an
access denied error.
Once we restart our application all the log files are deleted and the logger
starts with a new set of log files.
At times this behavior is repeatable for multiple application restarts, but at
other occasions, a single application reboot solves the problem. The last time
we saw this problem, it was repeatable until we tried to enable the log4cxx
debug logging through the config xml and redirecting the stderr output to a
file. After that it wasn't reproducible anymore.
Since this happens very rarely, its difficult for us to reproduce the error,
but when it happens it wipes out all the historical logs hence imperative that
we fix it.
I want to know if this is a known issue and if there are any known conditions
which can cause this problem. Any hints on how to reproduce the issue would be
of great help. Let me know if you guys need any more info/details.
