Log4perl & Apache

theguest has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I host my Catalyst web application with Apache2 and ModPerl. All works fine and fast so far. The web application uses the Log4perl modul to generate a logfile.

The problem is that only log entries are generated when the apache service is starting. Afterwards no new entries were generated.

If I use the integrated development server of catalyst instead, log entries are generated normaly.

I already checked the access rights and these seem ok: the apache process is owner and can write.

Can anyone help me with this prolbem ?!?

This is my log4perl config:

#log4perl.logger.myapp=INFO, LOGFILE
# --> i tried this first but without success
log4perl.rootLogger=INFO,LOGFILE

log4perl.appender.LOGFILE=Log::Log4perl::Appender::File

log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.filename=myapp.log

log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.mode=append

log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.layout=PatternLayout

log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d] [%p] %m%n

log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.filename=myapp.log Try using an absolute path It also might be critical to know how host your Catalyst web application with Apache2 and ModPerl. and how you pass your log4perl configuration	[reply]

Thanks for the link. I use Log::Log4perl::Catalyst (part of the Log::Log4perl package), so Log4perl is automatically initialized only once. I modified my config so log4perl in no longer async `log4perl.rootLogger = INFO, Syncer log4perl.appender.Syncer = Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized log4perl.appender.Syncer.appender = LOGFILE log4perl.appender.LOGFILE=Log::Log4perl::Appender::File .... ....` [download] but still no furhter log entries were generated, only the inital one during apache startup. This is how i integrate log4perl: `use Log::Log4perl::Catalyst; .... __PACKAGE__->log(Log::Log4perl::Catalyst->new(__PACKAGE__->path_to('lo +g4perl.conf')->stringify)); ....` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
