Coldfusion stopped logging to application.log file

[aUniqueScreenName]

I'm using Coldfusion version 7,0,2,142559 on a windows 2003 server with IIS6
(my prod box). A little over a month ago CF stopped putting entries into the
application.log file. Even when errors do occur that should be logged
application.log has nothing. I've gone through every windows/cf/jrun log I
could find and found nothing to indicate any problems at the time of the last
entry. Also no CF or windows updates were done around that time.

I have a development box setup exactly the same and it does not exhibit the
same problem. I can cause errors on the dev box and they get logged in
application.log. Yet when I do the same thing on my prod box nothing gets
logged. I've compared all the settings between the prod and dev boxes and
everything is the same.

The prod server is functioning completely normal except for the failure to put
anything in application.log. I'm beyond pulling my hair out on this one. Has
anyone ecountered the same issue? My Google searches have so far come up emtpy.

Is it possible that the application log on your production server is not
configured to overwrite events as needed? Are other non-ColdFusion
application events being logged?

Carl,

If I understand your reply correctly you are refering to the Windows
application log (you mention non-CF events)? My problem lies with the
application.log file in C:\CFusionMX7\logs. The application log is set to
overwrite as needed.
