RollingFileAppender Problem

[Martin Brugger]

Hi there!   I'm using the following configurations:   + Win2k SP-4, WinXP SP-2 + C# .Net 2.0 + Log4Net.dll 1.2.9.0   The Logger is running for a Win-Service and configured as shown in the xml-snippet of the attachement.   What I want to achive is, that I will get one log-file for each day rolling after 30 days, so I set the following keys:   <rollingStyle value="Date" /> <maxSizeRollBackups value="30" />   For a few customers this settings works fine, but in most of the cases the log-files won't be rolled and deleted after 30 files will be reached. Therefore it happens that the space of the hard disk will be crowded endlessly.   In a few cases it also happens that only one file will be generated and overwritten at 12:00pm or sometimes I also get gaps of several days between my files.   Are there any known bugs, or is there a failure in my configuration?   Remark:   I know there is also a entry with '<maximumFileSize value="10MB" />' remaining in my App.config from a former usage, but I assume that this entry will be ignored unless the rollingStyle isn't set to 'Size' or 'Composite'.   with kind regards   Martin
