Error description
rotatelogs ignores -l option when rotating files based on size, so generated filenames have UTC time instead of local time. The -l option is respected when rotating files based on time intervals to indicate that generated filenames use local time.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM HTTP Server configurations with * * rotatelogs * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: localtime (-l) and UTC offset parameters* * were ignored when rotating log files based on size * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: This fix is recommended for configurations * * with rotatelogs configured to rotate log files based on file * * size. * **************************************************************** The rotatelogs command accepted but ignored -l and UTC offset parameters when rotating log files based on file size. Thus, timestamps in generated log file names always used UTC time instead of local time. In addition, both -l and UTC offset parameters could be specified on the rotatelogs command-line, even though the parameters are conflicting.
Problem conclusion
rotatelogs was modified to respect the -l and UTC offset parameters when rotating log files based on size. rotatelogs issues an error if both -l and UTC offset parameters are specified on the command-line. . This fix is targeted for fix packs 6.1.0.15 6.0.2.27 and cumulative fix PK65782 for IBM HTTP Server 2.0.47
