Ivan, Thank for your help.
The problem was that magic quotes was turned on, on this machine. This is something I had thought was changed when we upgraded to 5.3 several months ago. I have disabled magic quotes and everything is now working as expected.

You know what... try configuring using a properties file. Create log4php.properties (or whatever) and put this in: log4php.appender.default = LoggerAppenderFile log4php.appender.default.file = myLog.log log4php.rootLogger = DEBUG, default Then configure using Logger::configure('log4php.properties '); This uses a different configurator and it might not have the same bug. I may install gentoo to try and figure this out if I have the time. Too bad PHP is not included on their live CD. Do you know any good quickstart tutorials? :-) Regards, Ivan On 17 August 2011 13:44, Michael Sole <ms...@gold-mobile.com> wrote: > The array is empty: array(0) { } > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ivan Habunek [mailto:ivan.habu...@gmail.com] > Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2011 3:54 AM > To: Log4PHP User > Subject: Re: Multiple servers writing to the same file > > Please try inserting the following line just after > Logger::configure(...) > > var_dump(Logger::getRootLogger()->getAllAppenders()); > > It should return something similar to: > > array(1) { > [0]=> > object(LoggerAppenderFile)#7 (9) { > ["append":"LoggerAppenderFile":private]=> > bool(true) > ["file":protected]=> > string(9) "myLog.log" > ["fp":protected]=> > resource(23) of type (stream) > ["closed":protected]=> > bool(false) > ["filter":protected]=> > NULL > ["layout":protected]=> > object(LoggerLayoutSimple)#8 (0) { > } > ["name":protected]=> > string(10) "myAppender" > ["threshold":protected]=> > NULL > ["requiresLayout":protected]=> > bool(true) > } > } > > If not, then the file appender is not being creted at all, and we will have > to debug the configurator... > > Regards, > Ivan > > On 16 August 2011 21:42, Michael Sole <ms...@gold-mobile.com> wrote: >> >> I checked and it is installed but I knew that as I use it elsewhere. >> >> >> >> Here is the feedback from the guys I have working on the issue (besides >> myself): >> >> I found it was reading the config file but if I queried it for current >> loggers it had nothing.
