That works nicely, thank you.
Now,
I looked at the doc for TimeBasedRollingPolicy and am trying to use the
ActiveFileName property so that my active file name is server.log and
then the archived file has the timestamp appended, but, I am doing
something wrong.
The doc states:
"The active file is defined as the log file for the current
period whereas archived files are those files which have been
rolled over in previous periods. By setting the ActiveFileName
option you can decouple the location of the active log file and the
location of the archived log files."
Here is how I tried to modify what you sent me.
<appender name="FILE"
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<rollingPolicy
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<param name="FileNamePattern"
value="log/server.log-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}"/>
<param name="ActiveFileName" value="log/server.log" />
</rollingPolicy>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%c{1} - %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
Is this how one is supposed to use the ActiveFileName option?
thanks

Hi,
I built a copy of log4cxx-0.9.8 on windows and now my app won't
write to the log file. It was working fine using the previous version.
There is a message sent to the console "log4cxx: No output stream
or file set for the appender named [FILE].".
The "EventLog" appender works just fine so I figure it is a config
issue. My config file is below.
If someone can point out what needs to be changed, I would be
most appreciative.
thanks

log4j 1.3 has two distinct classes named RollingFileAppender, one in
org.apache.log4j and a new architecture one in
org.apache.log4j.rolling. The log4cxx RFA is based on the new
o.a.l.rolling.RFA and uses its configuration syntax (which would
contain elements for triggeringPolicy and rollingPolicy). It is on
the to-do list to support both the old-style and new-style
configuration, however at the current time the log4cxx class file
mapping does not make any distinction based on the package name, it
only looks at the terminal class name. Here is an example of
configuration of RFA from the log4cxx unit tests:
<appender name="ROLL"
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<rollingPolicy
class="org.apache.log4j.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<param name="fileNamePattern" value="output/test1-%d{yyyy-MM-
dd_HH_mm_ss}"/>
</rollingPolicy>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%c{1} - %m%n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
