Are you saying that when it reaches 2K it is creating a new backoffice.log but not creating the archive (backup) copy?

Behavior seems to always be the same. The only small oddity I've found is that if I let the log fill up on it's own up to capacity (2K) it will just the same log file over again when it gets too big. However if I manually cut and past to fill up the file to say 5K and then use the app which will write to the log file it doesn't start the file over and keeps writing to it (until I restart the server). Neither scenario creates a backup though so I'm still stuck there. I'm going nuts here. You sure this log4j properties file looks ok? (on this last attempt I took out all paths and it writes the log file right in the bin folder). log4j.rootCategory=ERROR, rolling log4j.logger.com.adp=DEBUG, rolling log4j.logger.corporate=DEBUG, rolling log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n log4j.appender.rolling=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.rolling.File=backoffice.log log4j.appender.rolling.MaxFileSize=2KB log4j.appender.rolling.MaxBackupIndex=5 log4j.appender.rolling.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.rolling.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{MM/dd/yy hh:mm:ss a } %-5p %c - %m%n Any other ideas?
