[cobalt-developers] Fw: errors rotating logs

["William L. Thomson Jr." <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Things are getting weird.  Anyone come across this?

A while back I set up apache to create two access log files.  One for the
cobalt OS and one for my stats program Urchin.  At first I received an email
like the one below, but I received it from mail.log as well as ftp.log.
After some adjustments the emails stopped & things were working fine for
over two months.

About a week ago I fired up Chili!Soft ASP which had been dormant.  Now
every night I get the ftp.log email error and Chili!Soft ASP seems to shut
down completely.  I cannot even access the ASP Administrative console.  When
I turn off & on the ASP server from the Cobalt UI control panel then I can
access the Chili!Soft ASP Admin console which says the server is off.  I
then start the ASP server again & it runs fine until the next night when
logs are rotated again.

If this a cobalt problem or mine?

Any advice?

Thanks,
