CF8 Administration - Archiving a Log File

[cold1]

From the Coldfusion 8 documentation, the process of archiving a log file seems pretty straightforward, but I can’t find the archived log files.

I am running Coldfusion 8 under Apache HTTP server. It’s pretty much a plain vanilla implementation using default settings.

If I click the “archive log file” button on one of the files, it recreates the log file, but what does it do with the old file? It seems the old file is just deleted. Is there something I must do in Administrator to explicitly enable archiving?

It does seem a bit strange, but it just adds a .1 to the end of the file name.

The archived files are still in the same location:
<Coldfusion installation directory>\logs\

I understand the naming convention: it's supposed to append a sequence number to the log file name. But the problem is that this is not being done. NO archive is created.

Are you sure that it's not there? Have you checked the logs directory in your Coldfusion installation directory?

I've searched the entire server; it's really not there. That's why I posted the problem.
