You have specified that 50 past backup files be kept (i.e. a window of 50 files). Think about what would have to happen when the log is rolled over. The software would have to do 50 file renames. That's a pretty expensive operation. Therefore log4cxx puts an artificial limit on it. It only supports a maximum of 12 past log files. This can only be changed by editing the software. For Curt, I would suggest making the error message a bit more explanatory. And perhaps have a way to change the limit without recompiling. -- Dale King
