Description

The errorLogMaxSize property is used to limit the size of an error log file. On a web server or regular file server, limiting the error log size prevents slowly using up all available disk space.

When the size of the file specified in errorLogFile exceeds errorLogMaxSize x 1024, dBASE Plus will skip past the first 10 percent of log entries, find the start of the next complete log entry, and copy the remaining 90 percent of the log file to a new file. Once the log file has been copied successfully, the original log file is deleted and the new log file is renamed to the name specified in errorLogFile.

If you do not want to limit the size of the error log file, set errorLogMaxSize to zero ( 0 ).

The default for errorLogMaxSize is 100. The minimum value allowed is zero and the maximum is 2048.
