The changes in 1.3alpha and those suggested by Allistair Crossley are in relation with file handle locks which prevent log4j from properly rolling the log file.
Two questions for you. Do you have internal log4j logging enabled? Are you running you app on Windows NT or XP?

Is there a documented (and accepted) bug for this problem? This looks close, but not reproducable: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4090
I'm thinking of moving to DailyRollingFileAppender (with version 1.2.x), and my few tests have not uncovered any problems. Maybe the bug results from differences in JREs?!?
Also, I don't see any significant change to DailyRollingFileAppender in the 1.3 code (although the docs do suggest using the new org.apache.log4j.rolling.RollingFileAppender), so I'm curious if something has been "fixed" in 1.3 alpha. Sure would have a better feeling if I knew why 1.3 solves your problem (so I can make sure I don't have the same problem with 1.2).
Thanks,
Tom
Yes, quite a lot of people are getting this. There are 2 ways we have gotten around this:
1. Use log4j1.3-alpha 2. Compile log4j1.2.8 from source but change DailyRollingFileAppender.rollOver so it contains the code
...
try { org.apache.log4j.rolling.helpers.Util.rename(fileName, scheduledFilename); } catch (org.apache.log4j.rolling.RolloverFailure rfE) { }
...
It works for us.
