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

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.
