RE: [Summary-Talk] Logs not working all the time



Hi Jason

I am getting back to you, since all we are doing is not giving us the 
expected resulsts. Here are some lines of the Log Files in the web 
interface:

1,650   11   0   380.0K   Oct 26, 2004 01:01am   Oct 27, 2004 12:51am

  1,081   11   0   250.0K   Oct 27, 2004 01:02am   Oct 28, 2004 12:56am

  0   0   0   0.0K   Unknown   Unknown   computeroil / 
computeroil.log_2004Nov3.gz   

As you can see, after a certain date (not always the same date), Summary 
can not read the files anymore. They are on the HardDisk and available 
for Summary to read, so downloading works.

Any help very much appreciated, since customers noticing now that some 
dates are missing.

Thank you.

Jason,

I have already removed ALL the log files and the folders and rerun log 
processing and we still see this error. I also removed all the data files 
to make sure Summary does not keep any data around.

Also, there is no permission problem at all, since we can download all 
the files just fine, but then processing does not work. Also, if I log in 
on the ftp site with the summary user, I can download all files.

For me that seams like there is something wrong with summary and the 
processing. If I can help with anything let me know.

Nitai

There is clearly something going wrong with the log downloading. That 
error message, "Can't fix date on old copy of file.", indicates that 
Summary gave up when downloading two log files because of internal 
errors. That error suggests that Summary downloaded some early version of 
the log, but is failing to download more recent additions to the log file.

I have been looking into what could cause that error, and I have come up 
with two possibilities. If Summary is getting run as two different users 
at different times, that could create permissions problems, which could 
cause this error. You should double check that all of the log files are 
owned by the user Summary is running as and have similar permissions.

The other possibility is that there might be a bug in Summary related to 
the recent switch in daylight savings time. In this case the problem 
should clear up the next time your logs are rotated if you manually 
delete the log files that are affected. That will cause Summary to 
re-download the affected logs, and new logs which are not created near to 
the time change should not be affected. This seems the more likely 
possibility, even though I have been unable to recreate this problem here 
as of yet.
