I haven't personally verified it, but I think there is a bug in Tomcat 3.3.x's logger in that the log file is restarted each day. If the name doesn't change each day, then the log file gets overwritten each day until it does change. The logger needs to be updated to append rather that overwrite when the log is restarted.
Ignacio, have you done log rotations longer than daily? The above is based on code inspection, so I could be wrong. Cheers, Larry > -----Original Message----- > From: Ignacio J.

Maybe worth add a new attribute setting for that? please post a RFE to bugzilla for that too, this will remind to add this ..

You've find a bug , please post it to bugzilla, may be the DST, just started, is not taken into account. > 4) Are there any other attributes to LogSetter? (I only see 5 in the > doc, with nothing pertaining to rotation) look at <http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/~checkout~/jakarta-tomcat/src/share/org/a pache/tomcat/modules/config/LogSetter.java?rev=1.14&content-type=text/pl ain> the setters of the logsetter class are the available attributes, that pertain to the logsetter element in server.xml Shortly will be possible to use log4j, i think that feature is in CVS already, and most of this problems will go away, in all or in part.. ;) Saludos , Ignacio J.
