Shahzad, take a read of this: <snip> > The end result of the above, is that the server.log file > grows alarmingly if > not closely monitored - once it grew to 1.5Gb (that's not a > typo) and took > up all the space on the server c:\ and crashed the server :-(
It's for that reason (and that CF slows down when the log files get that big) that I have a nightly job that inspects the CF logs, checks if they're over 1 MB in size and, if so, moves them to an archive directory. Archives are cleaned up at least once a month. > The log file cannot be deleted because CF is continually > writing to it, and the file is in use. I've not found that to be so. I've never had a problem moving or deleting one of CF's logs while it was running. </snip> that was from a thread called "CF Log Files" just last week, jb. -----Original Message----- From: Shahzad.Butt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 November 2002 11:05 To: CF-Talk Subject: Log Files Size of my application.log file is 51217475. Does it make any difference if it keeps growing without cleaning or we should clear it up. If we should clean it can I trim it like deleting old data? Or do I have to delete file altogether? I cant view it from CFAdmin page as it says size exceed limit of displaying results.....
