Topic: mod_log_rotate can't cycle at midnight

[Ellis]

Hello,

I'm using mod_log_rotate 1.00a-w32 from Apache Lounge with Apache 2.2.8 from Apache site, Windows 2003 Server web edition.

It does work, but logcycling always happen at 2:00 AM (00:00 UTC, I'm in France, GMT+2)

I tried various settings (see below) but the result is always the same (cycle at 2:00 AM) :

<IfModule log_config_module>
<IfModule log_rotate_module>
RotateLogs On
RotateLogsLocalTime On
RotateInterval 86400
CustomLog "c:/logs/addict/addict%Y%m%d.log" urchinutm
</IfModule>
</IfModule>

I tried

RotateLogsLocalTime Off
RotateInterval 86400 120

(should have 2 hours offset before midnight)

RotateLogsLocalTime On
RotateInterval 86400 60

But the cycling still happen at 2:00 AM.

I read somewhere a post from someone with the exact same problem (can't find it now) but he had no answer...

I have:

RotateLogs On
RotateLogsLocalTime On

without the RotateInterval directive and my rotation happens at midnight.

Also, check your server timezone. This problem also happens if the clock time is right but the timezone the system thinks it is in is incorrect.

Thanks for your post Brian.

I tried the same config as yours, without the RotateLogsLocalTime directive, but the result is still the same, log rotation happened at 2:00.

I checked my time zone in windows and it is correct, set to Paris.
