Hello, I like my log files & want to have them automatically renumbered when they reach a certain size. But Im not sure what info to put in the <logarchive> tag.

<logging>
<accesslog>access.log</accesslog>
<errorlog>error.log</errorlog>
<logsize>100,000</logsize>
<logarchive> </logarchive>
<loglevel>3</loglevel> <!-- 4 Debug, 3 Info, 2 Warn, 1 Error -->
</logging>

Do I put a 1 in there to confirm I want it to perform the action?
Also with the <logsize> do I include the comma in the numbers 100,000 or leave it like 100000. ?
Thanks

logarchive should be zero or non-size (typically 1 is used), log size does not take commas

Hello, thankyou for the reply.
So I put 1 for logarchive & this will make it timestamp the logfiles when they reach a certain size & start a fresh one?

[karlH]

that's the idea.

Here is a copy of my icecast.xml file. What I want to do is have Icecast create a new access.log file when the current one hits 10mb. The one that hits 10mb, I want it to be renamed to access.log_time/datestamp. Any help?
