As the fix is likely to be very environment and configuration specific, I took the approach of reporting that there was a problem rather then trying to guess at what the context specific solution should be! ;-) To start with, I've changed the Adaptor to report serious error messages to the Apache logs in addition to the WO logs. It looks like this code has been inactive for sometime (read decade) due to upper case vs mixed case mismatch. Then I added a message when apache is unable to append to the log file. This won't tell you what the log message was but it will tell you that your current environment configuration is preventing log messages from getting to the log file. Hopefully these steps will help others! Thanks to Travis for getting these changes committed to Wonder! Please direct feedback to me.
