Hi Georgios, yes, that's okay. So maybe log_type=stderr could help. I didn't try it but I guess the output is then written into apache's error_log ... which is already open and therefore doesn't need to be opened by TRAC again.

When we migrate and we have a homogeneous cluster I will post what is happening. It is really weird for me that the files of logs are remaining open. Even a little event creates a log for an instance this log will stay open ?!. We have already thought to create a log file per server in order to see if this will scale down. But with this the grep will be our only ally when sth happens :D Cheers, Georgios On Friday, July 6, 2012 9:09:39 AM UTC+2, berny wrote: Georgios Koloventzos wrote (Thursday, July 05, 2012 6:25 PM): > On Thursday, July 5, 2012 6:13:04 PM UTC+2, berny wrote: > > Georgios Koloventzos wrote (Thursday, July 05, 2012 5:20 PM): > > > We have since some years a Trac installation, but recently we > > > encountered a problem with the installation. > > > We are using 0.11.7 version. > > > We are hosting a large amount of trac instances (more than 1000). > > > > > > The problem is that the apache is opening the log file of every > > > instance (environment) and it does not close them.

Ouch, that sounds like a bug. Did you try 0.12.x? Have a nice day, Berny -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
