Problem with log file path

[proxymus-o]

Hello,

I've tried your tool and it seems to be the one I need. But unfortunately I have some problems when I try to rotate files where the path contains spaces (e.g. C:\Temp\New folder\test.log).

Then I receive the error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Logrotate>logrotate.exe logrotate.conf -f
logrotate: Force option set to true
logrotate: Exception: Illegal characters in path.
logrotate: StackTrace: at System.IO.Path.CheckInvalidPathChars(String path)
at System.IO.Path.NormalizePathFast(String path, Boolean fullCheck)
at System.IO.Path.NormalizePath(String path, Boolean fullCheck)
at System.IO.Path.GetFullPathInternal(String path)
at System.IO.FileInfo..ctor(String fileName)
at logrotate.Program.Main(String[] args)
logrotate: Exception: Illegal characters in path.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Logrotate>

Below you will see my config file (it is just a simple one):

compress

"C:\Temp\New folder\test.log" {
rotate 5
create
}

I use Windows 2008 R2 Server. What's going wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Hi proxymus-o

A couple of things to try:

1) put the -f as the first argument in your command line i.e. logrotate -f logrotate.conf

2) put a fully qualified path to your conf file in the command line i.e. logrotate -f "C:\Program Files (x86)\Logrotate\logrotate.conf"

Hi Ken,

I've tried both things, but none of them works. I've pasted the output to pastebin.com

Hi.
Same issue for me.

And anoother error "logrotate: Unknown directive notifempty"

Using logrotate 0.0.0.6

Making some test I found the problem is the "" characters in .conf

Error with:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\LightTPD\logs\*.log" {
...

It works with:
C:\PROGRA~2\LightTPD\logs\*.log {
...

Thanks.

Hi! Can you post your logrotate1.conf?

[Ken Salter]

I have uploaded version 0.0.0.9 which should fix this issue.
