I have 2.4 running, with caldav.plist containing this as the start of the log file configuration:
<!-- Logging -->
<!-- Apache-style access log --> <key>AccessLogFile</key> <string>/var/log/caldavd/access.log</string> <key>RotateAccessLog</key> <true/>
<!-- Server activity log --> <key>ErrorLogFile</key> <string>/var/log/caldavd/error.log</string> <key>RotateErrorLog</key> <true/>
<!-- Log levels --> <key>DefaultLogLevel</key> <string>debug</string> <!-- debug, info, warn, error -->
That's to say, I expect both the access.log and error.log files to be rotated so that none grow larger than a given size - here, apparently, 1,000,000 bytes by default - which is fine - and so that only the last N rotates of a given log file are kept. I started the server and watched a single error.log file grow: root@calendar:/var/log/caldavd# ls -l total 1048 -rw------- 1 calendar calendar 74590 2010-04-14 18:31 access.log -rw-r----- 1 calendar calendar 992376 2010-04-14 18:31 error.log root@calendar:/var/log/caldavd# very shortly after it reached the maximum permitted size, I saw: root@calendar:/var/log/caldavd# ls -l total 8952 -rw------- 1 calendar calendar 399809 2010-04-14 18:32 access.log -rw------- 1 calendar calendar 736648 2010-04-14 18:32 error.log -rw------- 1 calendar calendar 1000190 2010-04-14 18:32 error.log.1 -rw------- 1 calendar calendar 1000008 2010-04-14 18:32 error.log.2 -rw------- 1 calendar calendar 1000007 2010-04-14 18:32 error.log.3 -rw------- 1 calendar calendar 1000003 2010-04-14 18:32 error.log.4 -rw------- 1 calendar calendar 1000011 2010-04-14 18:32 error.log.5 -rw------- 1 calendar calendar 1000195 2010-04-14 18:32 error.log.6 -rw------- 1 calendar calendar 1000171 2010-04-14 18:32 error.log.7 -rw-r----- 1 calendar calendar 1000135 2010-04-14 18:31 error.log.8 root@calendar:/var/log/caldavd# what on earth is going on? I'll report this as a bug if a developer thinks it is. The disambiguating number reached almost 5000 before the filesystem ran out of space. Is there a configuration element for setting N, the number of rotates that are kept? If so, what is the identifier? I've tried 'RotateErrorLog false' also, and the same thing happens. John A. Murdie
