yes - i've had this problem a couple times before. i've run numerous =
xitami servers on a number of machines over the years so i can't give =
exact versions. i've always run xitami on windows boxes... 95, 98, nt, =
nt server, w2k pro, w2k server, sometimes the regular version - couple =
of times as a service version. i've probably had the log problem on 2 or =
3 of them.
when i had this trouble - everything was working fine.... then one day =
it started. a quick fix is to shutdown xitami. you will then be able to =
rename the file by hand. then restart xitami (and it will make a new =
log). i never found out why this started happening or a fix for it. =
eventually i'd upgrade, replace, or reload the machine and all would be =
well again.=20
i once heard there was bug in one version of xitami that related to =
this... but i have no details about it.

Thank you, but everything is set correctly.
Does everyone else's log files work perfectly?
Doesn't anyone else have this problem?

In the admin screen, go to Configuration, and then Logging. Make =
sure that all the settings that you want are correct.

Subject: [Xitami] Rotate Logs
Shoot me dead if this has already been solved.
Xitami seems to have a hard time rotating the access logs.
Xitami should be copying the current access.log file to yesterdays
date 'ac0x0x0x.log' type of thing, but sometimes it skips days,
and the access.log file just gets bigger and bigger... then it =
finally does it.
I am thinking that when my server is busy, and it is suppose to =
actually rotate
the log file, it can't because the server is being hit, and it is =
writing to the file,
access denied type of thing.
I even gave up having Xitami do it, and wrote a perl script to do =
the rotating for me, but
Xitami won't let go of the access.log file, and I can't delete it to =
start
fresh after I copy the file.
Any ideas on how to get Xitami to perform this seemingly simple =
task??? =20
Reliably?=20
Using Xitami Pro v2.4d10
