[Zope] Log Files Not Logging
Hi; I just took over managing my own server. The Z2.log files were enormous, so as a quick fix (before creating a rotation cron job) I created a new file and moved it to Z2.log Everything was the same except the owner was root, so I chowned it over and made it the same as before I cleared off the old one. But when I go to hit sites the hits aren't logged. (Note: It's not an error I'm looking for at first in the log, just a regular hit.) Here's a partial printout of ls -al: -rw-r--r-- 1 tick wheel0 Aug 15 14:15 Z2.log -rw-r--r-- 1 tick wheel0 Aug 15 13:36 event.log Same as before I touched it. Did I do something wrong? Or am I just being impatient?

Re: [Zope] Log Files Not Logging
The log rotation process is simple. Rename the logs to whatever name you want to use for archival purposes. Then (assuming you are using the usual setup and zopectl: # zopectl logreopen which will close and reopen the logs. The behavior you observed is exactly the Unix behavior that would be expected, since the log files were open. When you overwrote the log file, you created a new file (Z2.log) but the old file (once called Z2.log) remained open. Normally it would have been deleted, but since Zope had it open, it remains open and won't be deleted until it is closed. I hope you made a copy of the old Z2.log if it is important; absent some significant recovery hacking, it's most likely going to disappear when you execute logreopen from zopectl or restart zope.
