LOG4PHP File size Error

Question

I am running this script as a cron job on GoDaddy Shared Hosting (php 5.3.13), and am using log4php. The script seems to run fine, and finish. But then when log4php tries to finish up, it throws this error.

It does seem to actually output the file, and its contents. And I even changed the file's permissions to 777. It seems to be throwing this error when it does the filesize check...

Any help with the cause/solution to this error would be much appreciated.

Error:

<b>Fatal error</b>: Uncaught exception 'ErrorException' with message '2: filesize() [&lt;a href='function.filesize'&gt;function.filesize&lt;/a&gt;]: stat failed for log.txt, file: /home/content/89/10338789/html/Forum/phpBB3/program/log4php/appenders/LoggerAppenderRollingFile.php, line: 223' in /home/content/89/10338789/html/Forum/phpBB3/program/log4php/appenders/LoggerAppenderRollingFile.php:223

...or you change the erroneous code line in LoggerAppenderRollingFile.php to:

if (filesize(realpath($this->file)) > $this->maxFileSize) {

Indeed, the bug (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4PHP-210) is fix on "develop". Checkout [the commit](https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=logging-log4php.git;a=commit;h=1b558631d58f3b46040ac2550f729a69337d540f) but this version isn't released yet... for 4 years. – Gabriel Glenn Aug 29 '17 at 15:03
I was doubtful but it really worked, as it is anyways on my local copy and I am free to make a change on the source code. Thank you. I think the log4php is not under active development and hence the fixes were not promoted to the mainstream/release candidate yet. – itsraghz Apr 19 '22 at 02:42

It's an LoggerAppenderRollingFile issue, you need to use the absolute path to log file (workaround). After script execution the LoggerAppender::__destruct is called and the relative file log (log.txt) cannot be found.

change:

log4php.appender.<yourappender>.file=log.txt

to

log4php.appender.<yourappender>.file=/absolutepath/log.txt

If you don't want to hardcode a path, this seems to work: `%APP_PATH%/application/logs/debug.log` – jbobbins May 05 '15 at 22:46
