Hmmm ... I was able to get it working on my set-up -- that is, it created the backup files when the file reached 2K ...
---------------- Struts 1.1b2 WLS 6.1 sp4 Log4J 1.2.6 NT 4 ---------------- One wierd thing I noticed was that it seemed like WLS only picked up my new log4j.properties when I hot deployed my webapp -- but not when I restarted WLS -- WLS has always been flakely when it comes to deployment. I suggest you look at trying Log4j 1.2.6 or see if using the DailyRollingFileAppender might work. BTW, my appender looks like: log4j.appender.RollingFile=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.RollingFile.File=mirage-log-test.txt log4j.appender.RollingFile.MaxFileSize=2KB log4j.appender.RollingFile.MaxBackupIndex=5 log4j.appender.RollingFile.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.RollingFile.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n -----Original Message----- From: Rick Reumann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 2:11 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re[6]: [OT] some log4j problems using RollingFileAppender not creati ng a backup file On Friday, January 3, 2003, 1:56:38 PM, Bill wrote: SB> Do you have a Windows Explorer window open on that folder?

It does seem to consistently start over though with a blank log file when it reaches 2K- so I know it's understanding it needs to do something when it hits 2K. It's just the archived copy that is not being created. -- Rick mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
