We're trying to use file name patterns like: error_log_chnuinfow3.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S.txtThe date substitutions are working, but the time of day characters come out as zeros. An example, and some system information, are quoted below.
I originally was trying to use rotatelogs from the Red Hat httpd RPMs. But since they are a version of httpd 2.2.3 with back-ported patches,I then tried building the newest httpd 2.2.21 from source, off to one side, with static support binaries.
That's the source of /usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs below. But both versions seem to have the same symptom.
I wrote a C program to test the system strftime, and that seemed to work as expected, but I suppose the APR library date/time library is what is being used, making that somewhat moot.
(I'm also aware of logrotate, and the legacy server just stops and starts the server in a nightly job that also rotates the logs in a shell script. Others wanted to do use piped log rotation,
I'm trying to make it work.) Any ideas?ErrorLog "|/usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs -f /var/log/httpd/error_log_chnuinfow3.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S.txt 86400"

Test of the system strftime on a similar pattern seems OK:
[lunde@chnuinfow3 ~]$ cat strftime_test.c #include <stdio.h> #include <time.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> /* gcc -ansi -Wall strftime_test.c -o strftime_test */ int main (int argc, char** argv) { time_t rawtime; struct tm * timeinfo; char buffer [80]; if(argc<2){ printf("# Usage: strftime_test <format-string>\n"); exit(0); } time ( &rawtime ); timeinfo = localtime ( &rawtime ); strftime (buffer,80,argv[1],timeinfo); puts (buffer); return 0; } [lunde@chnuinfow3 ~]$ ./strftime_test "%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S" 2011-09-30-22_02_12 [lunde@chnuinfow3 ~]$
