Description

It appears that cronolog can only be used with the accesslog.filename.

When server.errorlog is configured to pipe to cronolog, the following occurs:

Starting lighttpd.
2005-09-28 23:02:22: (log.c.60) opening errorlog '|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog /home/anthony/logs/domain.net-error_log.%Y%m%d' failed: No such file or directory
2005-09-28 23:02:22: (server.c.711) opening errorlog failed, dying

#> lighttpd -v
lighttpd-1.4.3 - a light and fast webserver
Build-Date: Sep 28 2005 01:27:03

This behavior is not consistent with accesslog.filename and should be either corrected or documented. Apache, for instance, allows one to use cronolog for both sets of logs. That is a more consistent configuration.

I have written a patch for this (well, blatantly ripped off from mod_accesslog.c):

http://blog.moria.org.uk/downloads/log-cronolog.diff

file, syslog and stderr logging all seem to work still, and I have this working to cronolog okay here. Works independently of whether mod_accesslog is also to cronolog (or equiv.).
