dates in log files?
|
|
|
| I have a question about dates in log files I'm hoping someone can help me
out with. I was on my server last night around 10:30, and I noticed there
was a file for Nov 30 already. HUH? The server date and time were the
correct values (from what I could tell from my watch, wall clock, and the tv
:> ), and the dates on the log file itself was correct, but the dates inside
the log file were ahead. Has anyone else seen this?
I've seen this before on NT/IIS before about three years ago, but I flipped
over to linux so I didin't get to the bottom of this issue then. Now I'm
using w2k3server with latest patch and IIS6 with a few websites.
Any ideas? Please? Things still work, but I have come to the conclusion I
can't trust the dates inside the files. :<
Thanks.

Thank you very much Tom! I tried doing a quick search last night cause I
was getting tired of the wrong dates, but I guess I didn't have the right
keyword's to search. :< Thank you for the link! :> I'll try that and let
you know, but it looks like that's exactly my problem. Thanks.

This based on your time zone, the logs by default change based on the
time zone GMT, which is a global standard. IIS 6 has a new feature in
the IIS logging properities to use local time for file name and
rollover.
