Log file Size

[DenyAll]

I cannot seem to be able to vary the log file size. I have my own "standard" log4j.xml file as below - I set DEBUG mode on, excluding library details, and also set the log file size to 5000K (5MB):

  Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<!-- ===================================================================== -->

The DEBUG settings work fine, but the log file size setting doesn't - it keeps growing indefinitely. I have compared it to the standard log4j.xml file that ships with Serviio, and cannot see what is wrong. Can anyone see what is wrong, or is it a bug?

If this is on Windows, it's probably caused by the log file being used by both, the server and the console (the file is locked by these two processes). So if you exit the console, the server should be able to manage the log file correctly.
