PHP Log4j overwriting logs! ..sometimes...
Hey,
hoping someone here can help me. I'm using log4j for logging in a Java server. Its using DailyRollingFileAppender and rolls every hour. The reason I'm posting here is that in windows it works fine, but in unix it doesnt. What happens is the logs are logged in a file, lets say 'requests'. Then every hour the requests are rolled. so after the first hour of the day we would have the file 'requests-08-03-12-01.log'. Then requests for the current hour will be logged in requests again. Problem is that if we stop the server then restart what happens is that the requests that were currently logged in 'request' get written to the previous log file, overwriting any existing info. This doesnt happen in windows. Also I read about changing directories and it seems to work if we log to a different directory, i.e. it doesnt overwrite anything on restart. So any ideas as to why when we use this directory we have this issue?

Thanks.

Short version : Up server restart log4j is overwriting the previous logs.
