Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM HTTP Server configurations with * * piped loggers such as rotatelogs * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If a piped logger such as rotatelogs * * fails, IHS on Windows is unable to restart the piped logger. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: This fix is recommended for Windows systems * * with configurations with references to rotatelogs or other * * piped loggers. * **************************************************************** Rotatelogs will fail if, for example, an invalid path is supplied in the CustomLog or TransferLog directive. On Windows, the piped logger will not be restarted properly and a web server hang may occur after a large number of requests. IHS tries to restart the piped logger but does so with an invalid handle on Windows. This error does not occur on other platform but a handle is leaked.
Problem conclusion
IHS on Windows was changed to pass a valid handle to the replacement piped logger (e.g. rotatelogs). On other platforms handles are properly closed.
Temporary fix
