Re: [SPAM] RE: Antwort: RE: Failed to rename log file

Another option:

1. Setup a SocketAppender in the process to send logs to a "log server"
process
2. Create a "logserver" that then logs the data to file -- so you get a
single file.

Can you get a process ID for each process? If so, then you could use the
unique process ID as part of the file name. Just a thought.

Hi Jürgen,

Thanks a lot.

I cannot use the second option. I have a java application that maintains a
pool of these processes. As per the pool, the processes are launched and
destroyed to maintain sufficient number of processes in the pool to serve
the application. Moreoverall processes are instances of the same
executable. Hence they write to the same log file.

Regarding the first option, can any other Appender be used to avoid this
problem? I am not keen about RollingFileAppender as far as the log is
generated correctly and the older files are backed up.

Regards,
Jitendra

Jitendra,

as I can see, there are only 2 options:
- do not use (Daily)RollingFileAppender
- or use different log file names for different processes.

We decided to choose the second option and now it works well.

Thanks Jürgen.
Exactly, I have the same problem. I am accessing the log file from multiple
processes.
But how to overcome this?

Regards,
Jitendra

Hello,

I had the same problem with the "RollinggFileAppender" in log4cxx 0.9.7 The
reason was, the log file was opened in a second process. this prevented the
first process to rename the file and the file was truncated to zero length
in its trial to create a new empty log file (after the rename)

Hi,

I am using Log4Cxx on Windows. I always get the following error

------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------
Failed to rename [C:\app-name/logs/event-handler.log] to
[C:\app-name/logs/event-handler.log.2005-11-28].
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------

Due to this error, in order to continue writing log, Log4Cxx overwrites the
old log file. Thus I lose the old log.

I am using DailyRollingFileAppender and my config file is as given below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
