Re: Apache 2.2, rotatelogs.exe, and Windows

So this leads me to ask again, what are all of you successful 2.2.4 admins using 

to rotate your logs?  If the piping mechanism is broken, at least in the Windows 

binary, then what other technique(s) are people using?  Task Scheduler with a 

batch or CMD file?

So far I've been manually rotating the logs, but I'd understandably like to 

automate it.

 I am unsure of what would be causing your Unicode issues, sorry. That
being said.. i've heard/read that there are issues with rotatelogs on
W32 platforms. I have successfully used rotatelogs on my old XP box
after alot of hassle. What I found for me was that I had to use the full
path like so:

ErrorLog "|G:/mydir/apache2/bin/rotatelogs.exe
G:/mydir/apache2/logs/my-error_log(%m-%d-%Y_%H-%M-%S).log 86400"

That would have worked for 2.0, not under 2.2.  Actually 2.2.6 gets this
right but was flawed in a different way, 2.2.7 will have all the ducks
in a row at last.
