Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply and suggestions.
Firstly I changed the FileNamePattern in the logback configuration to
roll the log every minute (just until I crack this):
<FileNamePattern>C:\\opt\\shibboleth-idp\\logs\\idp-process-%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm}.log</FileNamePattern>
I then stopped the service and used Commons Deameon procrun command:
prunsrv //TS/JettyService
this runs the service "as a console application", and I'm logged in as
"Administrator" account.
Interestingly, the first thing it does is roll over the log file, but
only once. After I make subsequent authentications (at least a minute
apart) the new log lines are appended to idp-process.log, ie. it doesn't
roll again after each minute.
So I'm trying to understand whey this would happen. The Initial startup
of the service as a console app (run as administrator) is able to roll
the file, but any subsequent IdP operation is not able or allowed to
roll it. Once the service is started as a console application (as
Administrator) isn't all subsequent IdP processes run with Administrator
permissions too ?
I have also been playing around with the jetty logs (including creation
of resources/jetty-logging.properties) , but have temporarily broken
logging :-o
Prior to breaking it the stderr and stdout files in JETTY_HOME/logs
weren't showing any errors/exceptions. I increased the logging level in
resource/log4j.properties to "log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, stdout", the
logging didn't increase. And now, I can't seem to get logging at all.
I'm working on fixing it now,
Thanks again for help and advice,
Karen

My rollover problems have always been permissions problems. We
usually find them by stopping the process that isn't rolling over its
logs, switching user, and starting the process by hand as the user the
process is supposed to run as. Virtually every time, standard
out/standard error will show some IOException permissions thing.
Jetty is doing its own logging of standard out/standard error, no? Is
there a clue in that logfile?

Hi all,
My Shibboleth IDP version 2.3.8 is failing to roll over files daily.
Its running on Windows Server 2008, and the configuration is the default
Shibboleth one in logging.xml, except I have changed the slashes to be
double back slashes as per the logback documentation in Appenders.
I am running the IDP under Jetty 7.3, and have configured Jetty to run as a
service using procrun, as the 'local system account' which I believe has all
permissions necessary.
It works on another IDP I look after (version 2.3.6, with Tomcat) on Windows
Server 2003.
I have read the posts referring to JNDI and rotation failing, but I can't
see JNDI configured in my context file under Jetty, so guess this isn't
affecting it ?
I have looked through various logs in the Event Viewer but don't see
anything to indicate a logback error on file rotation.
My Shibboleth logging.xml contains:
----------------------------------------------------------------snip--
<appender name="IDP_PROCESS"
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<File>C:\\opt\\shibboleth-idp\\logs\\idp-process.log</File>
<rollingPolicy
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<FileNamePattern>C:\\opt\\shibboleth-idp\\logs\\idp-process-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</FileNamePattern>
</rollingPolicy>
<encoder
class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
<charset>UTF-8</charset>
<Pattern>%date{HH:mm:ss.SSS} - %level [%logger:%line] -
%msg%n</Pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing roll over to fail ?
Any pointers would be much appreciated,
Kind Regards
Karen
