[Xitami] Logfile issues

[Rick Headly]

i used to see the same (or similar) thing going on here russel...
back in the days when i used a default naming system and allowed all my
v-hosts to write to a single log-storage directory.

this all seemed to correct itself once i devised a log naming system of my
own, and instructed most of the logs to write to their own unique storage
directories.  the cfg files for 'most' of my v-hosts, now have lines which
look something like this:


[Accesslog]
    Cycle-arg = "acc_domain-nickname-%yy%mm%dd.log"
    Filename = "domain-nickname_access.log"

[Errorlog]
    Cycle-arg = "err_domain-nickname-%yy%mm%dd.log"
    Filename = "domain-nickname_errors.log"

[Server]
    Log-dir = "./domain-directory/logs"


... and it all seems to work.

my guess, is that something in your config is trying to force xitami to
write multiple files with the same name... and those digits are being tagged
to the tail end of the file name, in an effort to prevent new logs from
quickly being overwritten.

hope this helps...
good luck! :)
