Summary: rotatelogs -l uses UTC when calling strftime()
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.2-HEAD
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: PatchAvailable
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: support
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
When using "rotatelogs" with "-l" option and a "%" in filename (triggering
calling strftime to get actual file name), the exploded time information passed
to strftime is in UTC (because apr_time_exp_gmt() is called?)
So using the following line "rotatelogs -l log/%Y-%m-%d 3600" creates log files
properly following DST changes but the names of those files follow UTC values.
For instance in time zone "Europe/Paris" (GMT+1 with DST) the files end in
localtime at 0:59:59 in winter and 1:59:59 in summer: thus starting today (in
winter) httpd at 0:30:00 will output 30 minutes in a log named "yesterday" then
switch at 1:00:00 to "today's" date.
Since using the "-l" option means something like "use localtime not GMT+offset"
it would be neat to have the log name in localtime as well.
***** rotatelogs.c
246:
247: apr_time_exp_gmt(&e, tNow);
248: apr_strftime(buf2, &rs, sizeof(buf2), szLogRoot, &e);
***** rotatelogs.new.c
246:
247: if (use_localtime)
248: apr_time_exp_lt(&e, tNow);
249: else
250: apr_time_exp_gmt(&e, tNow);
251: apr_strftime(buf2, &rs, sizeof(buf2), szLogRoot, &e);
