I am not an expert on log4net .. But the first thing I would check is how many log files you actually have? If = 50 then I would suspect that MaxsizeRollBackups is not doing what the doc says it should do (ie erasing old files) after 7 weeks one day. If != 50 then there is some other problem.

But suddenly (after some weeks) the RollingFileAppender stops to roll over for no obvious reason (at least I can see no reason) and now I have a really very big log file. Can you help me? The application runs on a Windows 2003 system. Here comes my config file: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <log4net> <appender name="RollingLogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender"> <param name="File" value="C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Application Data\\CWS\\log\\CWSServer.log"/> <param name="AppendToFile" value="true"/> <param name="MaxSizeRollBackups" value="50"/> <param name="RollingStyle" value="Date"/> <param name="DatePattern" value="yyyyMMdd"/> <param name="StaticLogFileName" value="true"/> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss} [%t] %-5p %c{1} - %m%n"/> </layout> </appender> <root> <level value="ALL"/> <!-- INFO, ERROR, DEBUG, ALL --> <appender-ref ref="RollingLogFileAppender"/> </root> </log4net> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks for your help!
