				Hello All,
 
I have a problem with Log4j. It is not taking a backup of the log file, although I specify it in my properties file. 
 
log4j.logger.errorLog.log=DEBUG, errLog
 
log4j.appender.errLog=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
 
log4j.appender.errLog.file=C:\\Logs\\fileName.txt
 
log4j.appender.errLog.MaxFileSize=10KB
 
log4j.appender.errLog.MaxBackupIndex=5
 
log4j.appender.errLog.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
 
log4j.appender.errLog.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %m%n
 
 
#log4j.appender.errLog.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %-5p %t %x - %m%n
 
 
#log4j.appender.errLog.Append=true
 
 
The only thing I could think of is a permission issue. As this is on a Test server, where it works fine on my local machine.
 
 
Could some1 help me with this please? |

				How do you use Log4J ?
 
Is it web application ?
 
If yes, Can you check server logs ?
 
If you think it is permission issue, have you checked user running your code permissions ? _________________ Marcin |

				I am using Message Broker V6. I have checked the permissions of the Broker Admin, and it is Admin rights.
 
I even tried changing the properties file to DailRollingAppender, and the same problem happens
 
 
Any other suggestions?
 
 
Thanks for the reply |

				I have checked the Event Logs, and there is nothing there related to the log4j stuff.
 
If I use the DailyRollingAppender and set it to be changed every 1 minute, it does create a file after 1 minute, but then it overwrites itself after creating the first file.
 
 
I dont know where else to look, Thanks |

Sorry but I don't get.
 
Maybe I didn't understand your problem.
 
 
It is normal behavior.
 
 
When DailyRollingAppender generates "backup file" it also make actual log file empty. _________________ Marcin |

				Yeah, thats correct. But the Problem is it will never create a another file after the 2nd minute. It keeps overwriting the main file.
 
 
Thanks |

Sorry, OK. I see.
 
 
So it is not permission problem.
 
 
What Log4J version do you use ?
 
Have you checked it outside broker in standard application ? _________________ Marcin |
