Apache :: apache 2.2.3 , cronolog 1.6.2 on windows?

It seems that cronolog does not play well with apache 2.2.3 . when you shut down apache, none of the cronolog sessions are terminated. they just left hanging. This didn't happen with Apache 2.0.5X.

I looked at the cronolog src code and none of it is Apache specific so I would assume that you shouldn't need to recompile .

Anyhow, i tried to compile cronolog in VC++ 2005 express and had no luck. Anyone else have tried it?

Hey there toadie,

I've experienced the same issue with Cronolog and rotatelogs.

I found somewhere, might have even been on these forums (I can't remember - can't give the proper credit - sorry) that if you alter server/log.c as follows then compile:

REPLACE ALL INSTANCES OF
apr_procattr_cmdtype_set(procattr, APR_SHELLCMD_ENV)
WITH
apr_procattr_cmdtype_set(procattr, APR_PROGRAM_ENV)

The hanging issue went away for me as did the ungodly amount of processes associated with logging (4 cmd & 4 rotatelogs processes).

VoodooMill, I'm having the same problem with rotatelog.exe and cronolog.exe not hanging up properly/stacking up processes/leaving file handles open...

Do you have a copy of Apache 2.0.x that you rebuilt from source with the apr_proc_attr_cmdtype_set fix around that I could nab from you? I'd like to try it out and see if it fixes the issue for me, as well.

Thanks,
Warren
