FileRotate not working for me

[Steve]

I am using Log::Dispatch::FileRotate 1.11 and Log4perl 0.50.  A log file is produced and messages are being logged.  However, the file is not being rotated.  Here is what is in the config file for the rotating appender:

log4perl.appender.Roll1=Log::Dispatch::FileRotate
log4perl.appender.Roll1.filename=test.log
log4perl.appender.Roll1.max=3
log4perl.appender.Roll1.name=test
log4perl.appender.Roll1.DatePattern=yyyy-MM-DD
log4perl.appender.Roll1.mode=append
log4perl.appender.Roll1.TZ=GMT
log4perl.appender.Roll1.layout=Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.Roll1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d {ISO8601} %p [%C] %m%n

Can anyone help?  TIA!

You're using yyyy-MM-DD as a date pattern, but the Log::Dispatch::FileRotate man page says:

  ...
  yyyy-MM-dd           every day
  ...

Sorry, that was a typo in my post.  I have yyyy-MM-dd in my configuration file.  In fact, I changed it to yyyy-MM-dd-HH-MM and it still doesn't work.

I also have the following in my config file:
log4perl.category= DEBUG, Roll1

Try this:

use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy);

Log::Log4perl->init( \ q{
log4perl.category         = DEBUG, Logfile
log4perl.appender.Logfile = Log::Dispatch::FileRotate
log4perl.appender.Logfile.filename    = test.log
log4perl.appender.Logfile.mode        = append
log4perl.appender.Logfile.max         = 5
log4perl.appender.Logfile.DatePattern = yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm
log4perl.appender.Logfile.TZ          = PST
log4perl.appender.Logfile.layout = \      Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.Logfile.layout.ConversionPattern = %d %m %n
});

DEBUG "foo";
