Application Log Not Archiving from ColdFusion Administrator

I have a weird issue going on with a CF9 install on windows server 2008. The application log file will not archive when clicking the icon. I have tried this from the server and my local machine. I do not see any error messages being generated. Think it could be a permissions issue? Any other ideas? Thanks! Randy

Does anyone have any suggestions with this?  I still have not figured this out yet, even changing permissions. Randy ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

How big is the file. If it is too big maybe cf is timing out. Just srchive it manually if you want to keep it otherwise delete it. On May 31, 2012 4:34 PM, "Randy Johnson" <randy@randy.cc> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

You can use procmon to gain a bit of insight onto what is happening with the file. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx It could be the permissions aren't quite right, or perhaps it's just a CF bug.

This may not be the case for you, but it has been for me. What I have noticed is that ColdFusion creates a lock on these files, and that means you can't delete them. Now archiving means that you move it or rename it then delete it, so ColdFusion is probably seeing if an error occurred while doing this. How you can test this, manually try to move the file yourself, will result in an error from the operating system. My solution in the past which is only when on development, has been to shut down the service then delete the log files and restart ColdFusion. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 On Thu, May 31, 2012 at 11:47 PM, Randy Johnson <randy@randy.cc> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----
